Help Quyên patch the roof before the autumn rains
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Hồ Chí Minh City?
🇻🇳 Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam1,248 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Hồ Chí Minh City. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $300, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope things get better soon, Quyên. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Eugene!
