Roofing help wanted: Andrés's home in Buenos Aires
The roof at Andrés's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇦🇷 Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina111 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Buenos Aires. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,100, 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 anyone handy 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 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.
Thank you so much.

gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Buenos Aires
Take care, Andrés. Looking forward to the next update.
Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Buenos Aires.
Keep going. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up.
