Help Rodrigo patch the roof before the autumn rains
The roof at Rodrigo's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇧🇷 Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil899 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Recife. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,250, 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 anyone handy who can help over two Saturdays.
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.

Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Recife
