Help Rubén patch the roof before the rainy season
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Ciudad de México?
🇲🇽 Ciudad de México, Mexico1,125 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Ciudad de México. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,700, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.
