Help Bayu patch the roof before the rainy season
The roof at Bayu's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇮🇩 Bekasi, West Java, Indonesia279 views
I'm a school janitor living in Bekasi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $530, 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 anyone handy 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Keep going, Bayu. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Jabalpur.
Sending good thoughts, Bayu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
thinking of you, Bayu. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Take care, Bayu. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update
hang in there. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt.
Hope things get better soon, Bayu. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
You're not alone, Bayu. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Dhaka.
Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 26 people at work. Take care.
