Help Regina patch the roof before the autumn rains
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Belém?
🇧🇷 Pará, Brazil547 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Belém. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,100, 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 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care, Regina. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Sukkur
Hang in there, Regina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
