Help Héctor patch the roof before winter
Héctor, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Medellín.
🇨🇴 Antioquia, ColombiaPosted Jul 26, 20251,059 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Medellín. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,050, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people who can help over a 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
