The roof at Raúl's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

Ciudad de México
I'm a disabled veteran living in Ciudad de México. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $720, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

                  gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Ciudad de México.
