Two weekends of roof repair for Lúcia, a night-shift nurse in Santos
Lúcia, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Santos.

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Santos. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $640, 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 three or four volunteers 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 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.
Glad we found this place.

Keep going. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Contagem so I could bring a meal. Love from Los Angeles.
Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. Greetings from Jakarta.
Best of luck, Lúcia. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Toronto.
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
