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

I'm a single mother of three living in Campinas. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,450, 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 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

sending strength, Elaine. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.

Wishing you peace, Elaine. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Good luck, Elaine. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Love from Mombasa.
