Two weekends of roof repair for Alexandre, a disabled veteran in Belo Horizonte

Alexandre, a disabled veteran, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Belo Horizonte.

Belo Horizonte
I'm a disabled veteran living in Belo Horizonte. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $960, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew 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 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. Thanks for being kind about this.
