I'm a disabled veteran living in Duque de Caxias. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,750, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers who can help over one long weekend.
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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

praying for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. God bless
Best of luck, Adriana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Savannah but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Best of luck, Adriana. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Iloilo City.
