Roofing help wanted: Emilio's home in Monterrey
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Monterrey?
🇲🇽 Nuevo León, Mexico1,718 views
I'm a school janitor living in Monterrey. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $990, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you and your family, Emilio. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
Praying for you, Emilio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Praying for you, Emilio. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Austin.
Sending love, Emilio. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
