Adriana, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Tlaquepaque.

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Tlaquepaque. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,400, 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 one long 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 hope life is good to you.

Praying for you, Adriana. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 14 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal
Sending strength, Adriana. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Amritsar.
Hang in there, Adriana. Looking forward to the next update.
take care, Adriana. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Tlaquepaque
Wishing you peace, Adriana. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Hang in there, Adriana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope August is when things finally get easier. God bless.
You're not alone, Adriana. Shared this with my family. After 29 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Soweto.
