Help Davi patch the roof before the next storm
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Fortaleza?
🇧🇷 Ceará, Brazil499 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Fortaleza. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $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 two Saturdays.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone, Davi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Mar del Plata but we're thinking of you.
Best of luck, Davi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
