Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Alejandra in Medellín
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Medellín?
🇨🇴 Antioquia, Colombia320 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Medellín. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $660, 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 two Saturdays.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
