Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Alexandre in São Paulo
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in São Paulo?

I'm a school janitor living in São Paulo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,700, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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.

Rooting for you, Alexandre. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Latina.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of São Paulo.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
