Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Rosa in Bogotá
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Bogotá?
🇨🇴 Bogotá, Bogotá D.C., Colombia1,654 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Bogotá. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,000, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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 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.
Glad we found this place.

You're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Knoxville.
Hope things get better soon, Rosa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Gothenburg.
wishing you the best, Rosa. Hope you get there. Thinking of Bogotá
