Two weekends of roof repair for Héctor, a single mother of three in Móstoles
The roof at Héctor's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇪🇸 Móstoles, Madrid, Spain367 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Móstoles. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,050, 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 4-6 people 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Sending good thoughts, Héctor. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Las Cruces so I could bring a meal. Love from San Diego
Praying for you, Héctor. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Berlin but we're thinking of you. Love from Berlin.
Sending love, Héctor. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Mandaue so I could bring a meal.
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Please keep us posted. God bless.
