Roofing help wanted: Guadalupe's home in Bogotá
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Bogotá?
🇨🇴 Bogotá D.C., Colombia794 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Bogotá. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,050, 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 three weekday mornings.
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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Bogotá
thanks for sharing this. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Aberdeen
Wishing you the best, Guadalupe. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best
