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

I'm a single mother of three living in Miami. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,200, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over a weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending strength. Hope you get there. Don't give up. Love from Los Angeles.
Sending good thoughts. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Nagpur
keep going. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
best of luck, Santiago. Your post was clear and honest.
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Miami.
thinking of you and your family, Santiago. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Take care.
