I'm a night-shift nurse living in Juiz de Fora. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,600, 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 4-6 people 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hang in there. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Eldoret.
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
