Help Galih patch the roof before the monsoon
The roof at Galih's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇮🇩 DKI Jakarta, Indonesia614 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Jakarta Barat. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $320, 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 a small crew 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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hang in there, Galih. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Karachi so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Incheon

Good luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Keep going, Galih. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless

Best of luck, Galih. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 6 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

Thanks for sharing this, Galih. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Jakarta.
thinking of you, Galih. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in DKI Jakarta. I'll ask around and let you know

Sending love, Galih. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Jakarta Barat.
