Two weekends of roof repair for Arturo, a widowed grandmother in Barcelona
The roof at Arturo's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Barcelona. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,700, 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 anyone handy who can help over three weekday mornings.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there, Arturo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Arturo. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Corpus Christi but we're thinking of you.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 18 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
