Roofing help wanted: Rafael's home in Tlaquepaque
The roof at Rafael's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a home-care aide living in Tlaquepaque. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $930, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over three weekday mornings.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. I'll provide lunch, water and lots of thanks.
The work will be done on the ground and roof with proper harnesses. If you can only help for a few hours, that's welcome too.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts, Rafael. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out
rooting for you, Rafael. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
take care, Rafael. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Take care.
