I'm a home-care aide living in San Jose. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,650, 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 a small crew 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Radom donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Radom.
You're not alone, Mateo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care
Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
