Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Los Angeles?

I'm a school janitor living in Los Angeles. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room 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 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 two Saturdays.
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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

This could happen to any of us. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hope it all works out. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon
rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Hang in there, Bo-ra. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Los Angeles.
sending good thoughts, Bo-ra. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
