Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Jun in Bakersfield
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Bakersfield?

I'm a disabled veteran living in Bakersfield. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,550, 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 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Jun. Your post was clear and honest. Take care!
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Scranton so I could bring a meal
Praying for you, Jun. This could happen to any of us. Take care
Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Wudil this morning. Love from Wudil.
Best of luck, Jun. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
