Two weekends of roof repair for Ana, a widowed grandmother in Belo Horizonte
The roof at Ana's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇧🇷 Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil685 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Belo Horizonte. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $740, 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 anyone handy 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Belo Horizonte.
good luck. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Dortmund so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Kathmandu
Thinking of you, Ana. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps
