Help Esteban patch the roof before the autumn rains
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Iztapalapa?
🇲🇽 Iztapalapa, Ciudad de México, Mexico116 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Iztapalapa. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,650, 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 a small crew 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
hang in there. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't give up.
Stay strong, Esteban. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. All the best.
Take care, Esteban. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Turin.
Take care. Hope you get there. After 20 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
