Two weekends of roof repair for Susana, a home-care aide in Coyoacán
Susana, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Coyoacán.
🇲🇽 Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, Mexico462 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Coyoacán. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $640, 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.
