Help Elaine patch the roof before the monsoon
The roof at Elaine's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a school janitor living in Campinas. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,200, 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 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Stay strong, Elaine. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Sending good thoughts, Elaine. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you.
Sending strength, Elaine. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
keep going, Elaine. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Detroit.
