Help Pedro patch the roof before the rainy season
The roof at Pedro's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a home-care aide living in Lapu-Lapu. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,000, 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 one long weekend.
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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update.
Take care, Pedro. Shared this with my family. Blessings
Wishing you peace, Pedro. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Wishing you the best, Pedro. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon
rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Istanbul.
Wishing you the best, Pedro. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Lapu-Lapu.
Thinking of you, Pedro. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Stay strong, Pedro. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. Greetings from Eldoret.
