Roofing help wanted: Vivian's home in El Paso

The roof at Vivian's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

El Paso
I'm a school janitor living in El Paso. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $6,250, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

      Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Ahmedabad.
