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

I'm a home-care aide living in Barcelona. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom 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 anyone handy 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family, Patricia. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Rabat this morning. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Patricia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Bhopal but we're thinking of you. Love from Bhopal.
Hang in there, Patricia. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together
Good luck, Patricia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update
stay strong. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Barcelona
Hang in there, Patricia. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. I hope November is when things finally get easier
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Newport
sending good thoughts, Patricia. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
