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

I'm a retired bus driver living in Los Angeles. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,200, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.

Hope it all works out, Rocío. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Thanks for sharing this, Rocío. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
so sorry you're going through this, Rocío. Shared it with a few friends
You're not alone, Rocío. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
Sending love, Rocío. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Grand Rapids but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Grand Rapids.
