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

I'm a home-care aide living in Tlaquepaque. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,350, 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 a small crew who can help over one long weekend.
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.
Thank you so much.

You're not alone, Sergio. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Bandung.
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
