Two weekends of roof repair for Cristina, a home-care aide in Barcelona
The roof at Cristina's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇪🇸 Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain50 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Barcelona. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,400, 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Ciudad de México
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 5 people at work
