Two weekends of roof repair for Ramón, a home-care aide in La Plata
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in La Plata?
🇦🇷 La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina232 views
I'm a home-care aide living in La Plata. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $830, 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.
I hope life is good to you.
