Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Pedro in Santos
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Santos?
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil314 views
I'm a school janitor living in Santos. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,100, 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 three weekday mornings.
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.
I hope life is good to you.

Praying for you, Pedro. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Khulna but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Khulna.
Hope it all works out, Pedro. Shared it with a few friends. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
wishing you the best. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Onitsha.
sending love. Hope you get there. I hope July is when things finally get easier
Hope it all works out, Pedro. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Sent it to 39 people at work. God bless.
