I'm a disabled veteran living in Caloocan. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $740, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers who can help over a weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.

Stay strong, Dante. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Birmingham.
sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
Wishing you the best. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Caloocan.
