I'm a widowed grandmother living in Los Angeles. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,200, 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 a weekend. 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

    Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Bengaluru.

      sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. After 13 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Los Angeles.

        Hope things get better soon, Oliver. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. God bless

          Hope things get better soon, Oliver. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did

            Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. After 10 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
