Two weekends of roof repair for Shirley, a single mother of three in Bakersfield
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Bakersfield?
🇺🇸 California, United States1,018 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Bakersfield. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $6,500, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. 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 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 hope life is good to you.
