Roofing help wanted: Enrique's home in Guadalajara
The roof at Enrique's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇲🇽 Jalisco, Mexico894 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Guadalajara. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 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 roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over one long weekend.
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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. All the best.
Rooting for you, Enrique. Hope you get there. Sent it to 28 people at work.
Stay strong, Enrique. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Freiburg.
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Gothenburg but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Gothenburg.
