Help Rafael patch the roof before winter
Rafael, a disabled veteran, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in São Paulo.

I'm a disabled veteran living in São Paulo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,400, 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 a small crew 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 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.

Sending strength, Rafael. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of São Paulo.
Hang in there, Rafael. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Rafael. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 16 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
