Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Carter in Los Angeles
The roof at Carter's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a widowed grandmother 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 $5,250, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. 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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope April is when things finally get easier. All the best.
looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Los Angeles.
wishing you peace, Carter. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
So sorry you're going through this, Carter. This could happen to any of us. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
Best of luck, Carter. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal.
sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Rabat
