Isabela, a disabled veteran, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Campinas.

I'm a disabled veteran living in Campinas. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $810, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Leipzig
Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Wudil.
Praying for you, Isabela. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 26 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from 脺sk眉dar.
You're not alone, Isabela. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Good luck. 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. Love from Scranton.
Stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Iztapalapa donated after I showed her your page

Wishing you the best, Isabela. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
Thanks for sharing this, Isabela. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Best of luck, Isabela. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Dwarka but we're thinking of you.
Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Campinas
Looking forward to the next update. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Kisumu
hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!
Keep going, Isabela. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Odesa this morning.
Thinking of you, Isabela. Hope you get there. God bless.
good luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't give up.
