Two weekends of roof repair for Larissa, a retired bus driver in Olinda
Larissa, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Olinda.
🇧🇷 Olinda, Pernambuco, Brazil566 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Olinda. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,700, 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 a small crew 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Sacramento
Good luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in Coatzacoalcos donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Olinda.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Bogor
