Two weekends of roof repair for Roberto, a retired bus driver in Phoenix
The roof at Roberto's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a retired bus driver living in Phoenix. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,000, 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Roberto. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings!
wishing you peace, Roberto. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together.
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 11 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
stay strong, Roberto. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Take care, Roberto. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Los Angeles
Hope things get better soon, Roberto. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
Stay strong, Roberto. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless

Take care, Roberto. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Zaporizhzhia.
