Help Ramón patch the roof before the next storm
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Irapuato?
🇲🇽 Guanajuato, Mexico519 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Irapuato. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $690, 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 a small crew 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Irapuato.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Fresno so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Ramón. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Ramón. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Irapuato.
Hope you get there. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Irapuato!
so sorry you're going through this, Ramón. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
Wishing you peace, Ramón. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Leeds donated after I showed her your page.
