Help Edgardo patch the roof before the next storm
The roof at Edgardo's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a single mother of three living in Makati. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $390, 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 4-6 people who can help over three weekday mornings.
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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

hang in there, Edgardo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 23 people at work.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
