Two weekends of roof repair for Vanessa, a night-shift nurse in São Paulo
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in São Paulo?
🇧🇷 São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil212 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in São Paulo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,050, 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 a 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 so much.

Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
keep going, Vanessa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Hang in there, Vanessa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Take care.
You're not alone. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care!
