Two weekends of roof repair for Mariana, a single mother of three in Duque de Caxias
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Duque de Caxias?

I'm a single mother of three living in Duque de Caxias. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,200, 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 three or four volunteers 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 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.
I hope life is good to you.

take care, Mariana. Shared this with my family. All the best.
Keep going, Mariana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Duque de Caxias
Good luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
