Help Víctor patch the roof before the monsoon
Víctor, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Iztapalapa.
🇲🇽 Iztapalapa, Ciudad de México, Mexico553 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Iztapalapa. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,300, 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Abuja but we're thinking of you.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Iztapalapa.
