Help Daniel patch the roof before the monsoon
The roof at Daniel's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇧🇷 Guarulhos, São Paulo, Brazil446 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Guarulhos. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,350, 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

good luck, Daniel. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing you the best, Daniel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Uberlândia.
Rooting for you, Daniel. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Guarulhos
Sending strength, Daniel. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Guarulhos!

Take care, Daniel. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 4 people at work.
Best of luck, Daniel. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 39 people at work. God bless.
Thinking of you, Daniel. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Guarulhos.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Rajshahi.
