Help With Home Repairs

Donation protected
As you can see from the photo, I clearly need a new deck roof.  Unfortunately, even though I'm able to scrounge free lumber from work, I can't afford the other materials needed to repair the roof.  I also have a couple of other urgent expenditures which I need to take care of, but can't afford at the moment, so I'm asking for help from my friends.

Here's the listing of materials that I need and their costs, so you can see what your money will be going for:

GAF Mineral Guard 3.28-ft W x 32.58-ft L 100-sq ft Charcoal Roll Roofing

$37 ea. Total : $148

36-in x 144-ft 432-sq ft Felt Roof Underlayment

$15.75

Amerimax 6-in x 50-ft Aluminum Roll Flashing

$15.98

BLACK JACK 4.75-Gallon Fibered Waterproofer Roof Sealant

$48 ea. Total: $96

Olympic Assure Flat Flat Acrylic Exterior Paint (Actual Net Contents: 124-fl oz)

$19.98 ea. Total: $39.96

Amerimax 5-in x 120-in K Style Gutter

$6.37

10 in. 15 AMP benchtop table saw
#63118 $139.99

Total: 799.76

The other expenditures are mostly related to my two cats.  I recently rescued a female kitten who'd been abandoned in an industrial area.  She was barely old enough to be away from her mother, and if I hadn't saved her, she'd have gotten flattened by a truck or starved to death.  I need to get her vaccinated and spayed as soon as I can, because I have an unneutered male cat, and I really don't want any more cats than I already have.  Getting her vaccinated and fixed will cost about $150 at the only vet I can reach by walking since I don't have a car.  Getting the male cat fixed (he's already been vaccinated) will cost about $75.  The final expense I have is that the overhead light fixture in my kitchen no longer works, and will cost me at least $45 to replace (assuming I can find one that will work and don't have to modify the ceiling to install a different one).

Any money left over (which, knowing my luck, won't be much) will be put towards getting me a car.  As will any funds raised over my goal.  I don't like asking people for money, but at the moment my income level isn't sufficient for me to be able to take care of these things.  Thanks for your support.
