Two weekends of roof repair for Paulo, a school janitor in Feira de Santana
The roof at Paulo's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a school janitor living in Feira de Santana. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,000, 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 4-6 people 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. God bless.
Best of luck, Paulo. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
