Help Như patch the roof before the autumn rains
The roof at Như's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇻🇳 Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam120 views
I'm a school janitor living in Hồ Chí Minh City. 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 4-6 people 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope it all works out. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
Rooting for you, Như. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
Take care, Như. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Như. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Như. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Lucknow donated after I showed her your page. Love from Lucknow.
