Two weekends of roof repair for Lawrence, a school janitor in Fresno
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Fresno?

I'm a school janitor living in Fresno. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $6,000, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon, Lawrence. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
Hope you get there. We're a small family in Coimbatore but we're thinking of you. All the best

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Leicester
Sending love. Hope you get there. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
