Help Wellington patch the roof before winter

The roof at Wellington's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

Vit贸ria da Conquista
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Vit贸ria da Conquista. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,050, 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 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.
