Roofing help wanted: Gustavo's home in São Paulo

Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in São Paulo?

São Paulo
I'm a single mother of three living in São Paulo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,150, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over a 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

    Praying for you, Gustavo. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 6 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

    • Samantha F. Vargas

      Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Half-Way Tree so I could bring a meal

      • Asif Rony Begum

        You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
