Roofing help wanted: Jimena's home in Guadalajara
Jimena, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Guadalajara.

I'm a single mother of three living in Guadalajara. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $570, 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 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 work boots and a hat. 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.

Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Setagaya donated after I showed her your page
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Gaya
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Leicester donated after I showed her your page.
Keep going. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. God bless
So sorry you're going through this, Jimena. Hope you get there. Sent it to 23 people at work.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Miami this morning.
Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Howrah.
