Roofing help wanted: Flávio's home in Petrópolis
The roof at Flávio's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Petrópolis. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $800, 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 one long 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.
Glad we found this place.

thinking of you, Flávio. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Karachi.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Seoul this morning. Greetings from Seoul.
Wishing you the best. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from San Jose.
