Two weekends of roof repair for Fernanda, a disabled veteran in Mexicali
The roof at Fernanda's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a disabled veteran living in Mexicali. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $670, 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts, Fernanda. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
