Help Joko patch the roof before the rainy season
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Surabaya?
🇮🇩 Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia154 views
I'm a school janitor living in Surabaya. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $830, 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Stay strong. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
