Help Leo patch the roof before the autumn rains
The roof at Leo's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines826 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Quezon City. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $890, 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 anyone handy 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.

Hang in there, Leo. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Thinking of Quezon City.
sending strength, Leo. Your post was clear and honest. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
