Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Álvaro in Hialeah
The roof at Álvaro's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a single mother of three living in Hialeah. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,050, 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 4-6 people 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 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.
Glad we found this place.

Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Caloocan so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Álvaro. Hope you get there
Thinking of you, Álvaro. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Hialeah.
Hang in there. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
You're not alone. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Duque de Caxias so I could bring a meal
Take care, Álvaro. Your post was clear and honest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Olinda
