Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Silvia in San Jose

Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in San Jose?

San Jose
I'm a night-shift nurse living in San Jose. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,950, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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 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.

    Rooting for you, Silvia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did

      Stay strong, Silvia. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

        Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
