Two weekends of roof repair for Liam, a night-shift nurse in San Jose
The roof at Liam's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a night-shift nurse living in San Jose. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,150, 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 three or four volunteers 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope February is when things finally get easier!
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Thika
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of San Jose

Praying for you, Liam. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 17 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
