Help Antônia patch the roof before winter
Antônia, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Porto Alegre.
🇧🇷 Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil325 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Porto Alegre. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $620, 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 three or four volunteers 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
