Help Federico patch the roof before the monsoon
The roof at Federico's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇮🇹 Turin, Piedmont, Italy760 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Turin. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,150, 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 three or four volunteers who can help over three weekday mornings.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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 hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you and your family, Federico. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together
sending strength, Federico. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
You're not alone, Federico. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Turin.
Keep going, Federico. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Coyoacán this morning
Rooting for you, Federico. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Cairo.
sending good thoughts, Federico. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
