Roofing help wanted: André's home in Campinas
André, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Campinas.

I'm a home-care aide living in Campinas. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,650, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Hope things get better soon, André. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Good luck, André. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 12 people at work.
Hope things get better soon. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Porto Alegre donated after I showed her your page.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Take care.
