Roofing help wanted: Antônia's home in Pelotas
The roof at Antônia's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇧🇷 Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, BrazilPosted Oct 1, 2026478 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Pelotas. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,350, 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

rooting for you. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Good luck, Antônia. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
thinking of you, Antônia. This could happen to any of us. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Bangkok.
Hang in there, Antônia. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
