I'm a widowed grandmother living in Entebbe. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $480, 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 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.

Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Coyoacán but we're thinking of you
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Makati.
