I'm a home-care aide living in Guarulhos. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,250, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you and your family. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Marrakesh.
take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Guarulhos.
Good luck, Priscila. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
good luck, Priscila. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
Take care, Priscila. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Take care. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Pune this morning.
