Two weekends of roof repair for Ignacio, a disabled veteran in Medellín

Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Medellín?

I'm a disabled veteran living in Medellín. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,150, 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  • Wishing you peace. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Depok.
