Davi, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Rio de Janeiro.
🇧🇷 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil300 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Rio de Janeiro. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,000, 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 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.

Sending good thoughts, Davi. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Hồ Chí Minh City but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Take care, Davi. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 6 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Iztapalapa
sending strength. This could happen to any of us. Love from Paris
So sorry you're going through this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Davi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Jakarta
Thanks for sharing this, Davi. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
Sending love, Davi. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Rio de Janeiro
