I'm a home-care aide living in Thủ Đức. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $610, 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Cleveland but we're thinking of you.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Thủ Đức.
Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Istanbul this morning.

Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Coyoacán.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Barranquilla.
Praying for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Caxias do Sul.
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Thủ Đức.
