Two weekends of roof repair for Karina, a retired bus driver in Barranquilla
Karina, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Barranquilla.
🇨🇴 Barranquilla, Atlántico, Colombia754 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Barranquilla. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,050, 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 a small crew who can help over one long weekend.
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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Santa Fe this morning. God bless
take care. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Kasarani this morning. Greetings from Kasarani
Wishing you peace, Karina. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Málaga donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
