Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Ricardo in Joliet

The roof at Ricardo's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

Joliet
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Joliet. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,700, 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 three weekday mornings. Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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. Glad we found this place.

    This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Irapuato so I could bring a meal.
