Two weekends of roof repair for Renata, a disabled veteran in São Paulo
Renata, a disabled veteran, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in São Paulo.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil200 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in São Paulo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $730, 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 two Saturdays.
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.

A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Thinking of São Paulo.
Sending good thoughts, Renata. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Renata. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless!
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
You're not alone, Renata. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Pretoria donated after I showed her your page

Sending love, Renata. Looking forward to the next update.
sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
So sorry you're going through this, Renata. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Take care, Renata. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Nuremberg
Wishing you peace, Renata. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Sending love. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from San Jose.
