Two weekends of roof repair for Irene, a single mother of three in Medellín
Irene, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Medellín.
🇨🇴 Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia904 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Medellín. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,600, 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 two Saturdays.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. 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.

Good luck, Irene. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Chennai so I could bring a meal. All the best
Stay strong, Irene. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from La Plata.
