Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Joaquín in Bogotá
Joaquín, a disabled veteran, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Bogotá.
🇨🇴 Bogotá, Bogotá D.C., Colombia145 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Bogotá. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $480, 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 one long weekend.
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.
Glad we found this place.

Hope it all works out. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Ankara this morning. Love from Ankara.
Keep going, Joaquín. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
best of luck, Joaquín. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
