Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Pilar in La Plata
Pilar, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in La Plata.
🇦🇷 La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina248 views
I'm a single mother of three living in La Plata. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $650, 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 4-6 people who can help over a 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.
Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Ciudad de México
You're not alone, Pilar. Shared it with a few friends.
