Help Okta patch the roof before the autumn rains
Okta, a disabled veteran, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Jakarta Selatan.
🇮🇩 Jakarta Selatan, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia655 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Jakarta Selatan. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $620, 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 30 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
