Help Miguel patch the roof before the monsoon
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Makati?

I'm a school janitor living in Makati. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $760, 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 a small crew who can help over two Saturdays.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. 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.

So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Best of luck, Miguel. Hope you get there. Sent it to 32 people at work. Greetings from Dhaka.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Kampala but we're thinking of you. All the best
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Sending strength, Miguel. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Epe.
Good luck, Miguel. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
You're not alone, Miguel. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Take care, Miguel. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Sending love, Miguel. Hope this works out for you. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan.
