Roofing help wanted: Adriana's home in Petrópolis
The roof at Adriana's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Petrópolis. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,500, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew 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. Hope this works out for you. Love from Aurangabad.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Greetings from Epe
You're not alone, Adriana. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 32 people at work. Thinking of Petrópolis.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Mumbai.
