I'm a home-care aide living in Niterói. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 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 roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers who can help over a weekend.
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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Wishing you peace, Leonardo. This could happen to any of us. I hope June is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Leonardo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope June is when things finally get easier.
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update
Good luck, Leonardo. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
