Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Isaiah in Los Angeles
Isaiah, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Los Angeles.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States1,001 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Los Angeles. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,250, 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 4-6 people who can help over one long weekend.
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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Put this on a community board in Ahmedabad this morning. God bless.
This could happen to any of us. Love from Savannah
Sending love, Isaiah. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 24 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
