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

I'm a home-care aide living in San Francisco. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $5,750, 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 work boots and a hat. 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.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
Hope it all works out, Sophia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Wishing you peace, Sophia. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon
Rooting for you, Sophia. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Gangnam.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Venice this morning. Thinking of San Francisco.
Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
rooting for you, Sophia. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
