Two weekends of roof repair for Verónica, a widowed grandmother in Tijuana
Verónica, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Tijuana.
🇲🇽 Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico169 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Tijuana. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,150, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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.

Stay strong. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. I hope August is when things finally get easier
Rooting for you, Verónica. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Odesa donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Tijuana.
