Help Edson patch the roof before the monsoon
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Vitória da Conquista?
🇧🇷 Bahia, Brazil993 views
I'm a school janitor living in Vitória da Conquista. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $860, 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 anyone handy who can help over one long 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.
Glad we found this place.

stay strong, Edson. Hope you get there.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. Greetings from Mumbai.
Sending love, Edson. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless
Hope it all works out, Edson. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

Take care, Edson. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. God bless
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
