I'm a disabled veteran living in Bakersfield. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,500, 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 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 hope life is good to you.

a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
hang in there, Roman. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Pune but we're thinking of you.
Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. After 14 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything
