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

I'm a disabled veteran living in Los Angeles. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,050, 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 4-6 people who can help over one long weekend.
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.
Thank you so much.

I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Salem this morning.
rooting for you, Xiang. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Los Angeles.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope June is when things finally get easier. All the best.
sending good thoughts, Xiang. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
