Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Bea in Angeles
Bea, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Angeles.

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Angeles. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $770, 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 a small crew 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you and your family, Bea. I hope things turn around soon.
best of luck, Bea. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
Sending good thoughts, Bea. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Angeles.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Kikuyu.
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Lafayette
