Roofing help wanted: Rosângela's home in Rio de Janeiro
Rosângela, a school janitor, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Rio de Janeiro.
🇧🇷 Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil325 views
I'm a school janitor living in Rio de Janeiro. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom 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 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Good luck, Rosângela. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. All the best!
Thinking of you and your family, Rosângela. Looking forward to the next update. After 30 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Sydney.

This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal. God bless.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Rio de Janeiro.

Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 25 people at work.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
