Help João patch the roof before the monsoon
João, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Londrina.
🇧🇷 Londrina, Paraná, Brazil919 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Londrina. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $790, 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 anyone handy 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 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.
Glad we found this place.

Praying for you, João. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this, João. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Haarlem.
Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal. Blessings.

Hang in there, João. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Thinking of you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
