I'm a single mother of three living in Campinas. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,500, 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 one long weekend.
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.

So sorry you're going through this, Regina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update.
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out!
so sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Campinas.
Keep going, Regina. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Bangkok

Praying for you, Regina. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
sending love. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
