Two weekends of roof repair for Renata, a single mother of three in São Paulo
The roof at Renata's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil528 views
I'm a single mother of three 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 $930, 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 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 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 for reading my story.

You're not alone, Renata. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 34 people at work
I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Love from Nsukka.
hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
Hope it all works out. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 25 people at work. Greetings from Patna.
Rooting for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings!
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Ciudad de México this morning.
Thinking of you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless
Praying for you, Renata. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from London.
