Vitória da Conquista
I'm a single mother of three living in Vitória da Conquista. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $970, 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 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 work boots and a hat. 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

    Thinking of you and your family, Sérgio. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

    • Hasan Hridoy Das

      So sorry you're going through this, Sérgio. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.

        Thinking of you and your family, Sérgio. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Vitória da Conquista.

          Hope things get better soon, Sérgio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Ubud.
