Help Arturo patch the roof before winter
Arturo, a school janitor, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Alcalá de Henares.

I'm a school janitor living in Alcalá de Henares. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,950, 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 a small crew who can help over a 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Buenos Aires so I could bring a meal
you're not alone, Arturo. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Hang in there. Hope you get there. Don't give up. Greetings from Rajshahi
Praying for you, Arturo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Alcalá de Henares.
