Two weekends of roof repair for Rosa, a school janitor in Tuxtla Gutiérrez
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Tuxtla Gutiérrez?
🇲🇽 Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, Mexico527 views
I'm a school janitor living in Tuxtla Gutiérrez. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,250, 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 one long weekend.
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.

Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. After 12 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Jakarta Selatan.
