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

I'm a disabled veteran living in Mexicali. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,400, 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 4-6 people 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in San Jose donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from San Jose.
