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

I'm a home-care aide living in Iztapalapa. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $960, 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 one long weekend.
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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you peace, Sofía. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
