Help Larissa patch the roof before the autumn rains

Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Rio de Janeiro?

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Rio de Janeiro. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,300, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Thinking of you, Larissa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
