Help Natalia patch the roof before the autumn rains
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Iztapalapa?
🇲🇽 Iztapalapa, Ciudad de México, Mexico385 views
I'm a single mother of three 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 $730, 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 4-6 people 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

thanks for sharing this, Natalia. Hope you get there. God bless
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
good luck, Natalia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Blessings.
