Help Andrés patch the roof before the autumn rains
Andrés, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in A Coruña.
🇪🇸 Galicia, SpainPosted Sep 4, 20261,333 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in A Coruña. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,450, 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 three or four volunteers 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Good luck, Andrés. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. All the best.
Stay strong. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings
