Two weekends of roof repair for Raquel, a disabled veteran in Santos

Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Santos?

I'm a disabled veteran living in Santos. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 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 shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew 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 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. Thank you so much.

    Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Eldoret.

      You're not alone, Raquel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Riverside so I could bring a meal. Take care.

      • Henry N. Washington

        Hope things get better soon, Raquel. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.

          thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
