Two weekends of roof repair for Miguel, a retired bus driver in Olinda
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Olinda?
🇧🇷 Pernambuco, Brazil446 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Olinda. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,300, 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 4-6 people 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 work boots and a hat. 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.

Best of luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Monterrey donated after I showed her your page.
Sending good thoughts, Miguel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Lagos this morning. Love from Lagos.
take care. Hope you get there. Greetings from Manila.
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Olinda.
Thinking of you and your family, Miguel. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Mumbai
