Two weekends of roof repair for Marcelo, a school janitor in São Paulo
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in São Paulo?
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil845 views
I'm a school janitor living in São Paulo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $780, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

looking forward to the next update. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
thanks for sharing this, Marcelo. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps!
Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. After 26 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending love, Marcelo. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
