Roofing help wanted: Pedro's home in Barranquilla
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Barranquilla?
🇨🇴 Atlántico, Colombia1,148 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Barranquilla. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,100, 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Dwarka so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Barranquilla
Stay strong, Pedro. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Pedro. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. Love from Nice.
This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
