I'm a disabled veteran living in Corpus Christi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,100, 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 anyone handy 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Porto Alegre
Wishing you the best. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Johannesburg.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Corpus Christi.
hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in San Jose but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Corpus Christi
hope it all works out, Amparo. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.
