Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Reagan in San Jose
Reagan, a school janitor, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in San Jose.

I'm a school janitor living in San Jose. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,850, 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 three or four volunteers who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of San Jose.
Stay strong, Reagan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from London.
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Kadıköy
