Help Do-yoon patch the roof before winter
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Seoul?
🇰🇷 Seoul, South Korea267 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Seoul. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,700, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 13 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Seoul.
Hang in there, Do-yoon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Multan this morning. Blessings.
