Two weekends of roof repair for Danielle, a disabled veteran in Hialeah
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Hialeah?

I'm a disabled veteran living in Hialeah. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $5,250, 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 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Praying for you, Danielle. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted
Stay strong, Danielle. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Best of luck, Danielle. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Fresno.
Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Osaka.
Hope things get better soon, Danielle. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Cox's Bazar.
Thanks for sharing this, Danielle. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Blessings
Hope it all works out, Danielle. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
