Build a Carpentry shop for Mariana

Hi, my name is Mariana, I'm 45 years old and I want to show you what's behind this gate.

It started to be part of my family, a little before I was born. Many things were done in that space, it started as a place for holidays, socializing between friends, and then hard work in ceramics and iron.

Big businesses grew and they also collapsed... they collapsed due to illness and the inability to adapt.

Knowing how to accept change and adapt to new circumstances is one of the most complex human processes.

Behind that gate lie dreams. Dreams of 2 people that it is no longer possible for them to fight for them, but where mine still subsist.

I am unemployed and without state support, I am an enterprising and creative person, but I can only be so within the limits of what my financial grant allows.

I always liked manual work, whether in ceramics, wood, painting, photography, etc.

I dream of having a carpentry shop, where I can develop my handicrafts, sell products built by myself or carry out restoration work, and with that find my means of subsistence and happiness.

I already have tools and machinery, but the space, despite the arrangements I try to make, prove to be insufficient.

With my poor knowledge of construction, the space has not subsisted for many years.

I need money to recover that small place of work: replace the fiber cement roof, where I've already made many patches in resin, put sandwich tile that insulates from heat and cold and for that I also need to replace the roof supports. It is necessary to fix the floor, which is made of cement, but it has sagged and created great unevenness, as well as the walls, which have places where the bricks are falling apart and with the sagging of the floor, gaps have appeared in the walls.

I've been trying to recover what I can for a few months now, but I need your help, because I can't get there alone.

So every time a donation is made, I update the page with the work I'm doing.

Thank you in advance for all the support and love you share with me.
