I'm a school janitor living in Hồ Chí Minh City. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $340, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. 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.
Glad we found this place.

Sending love, Hải. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Caloocan this morning. Blessings.
rooting for you, Hải. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Dallas
rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City.
