Thiago, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Petrópolis.

I'm a home-care aide living in Petrópolis. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $810, 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 three or four volunteers 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.

Take care. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together.
thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Petrópolis.
keep going, Thiago. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Hyderabad but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Hyderabad.
This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Mandeville.
Wishing you peace, Thiago. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
