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

I'm a disabled veteran living in San Diego. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,850, 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 4-6 people who can help over a 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.
Thank you so much.

Take care, Luca. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
Sending strength, Luca. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of San Diego.
