Help Emilio patch the roof before winter

The roof at Emilio's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

Medellín
I'm a school janitor living in Medellín. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $620, 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in New Delhi this morning. Thinking of Medellín.
