Roofing help wanted: Amanda's home in São Paulo
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in São Paulo?
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil1,003 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in São Paulo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,300, 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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you the best, Amanda. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
