Help Rolando patch the roof before winter
The roof at Rolando's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines1,155 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Manila. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $450, 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 three or four volunteers who can help over a 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.
Thank you so much.

Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Lahore so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Thrissur.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Please keep us posted. Love from Paarl.
Praying for you, Rolando. Looking forward to the next update. After 27 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Thinking of you, Rolando. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Tamale but we're thinking of you
Rooting for you, Rolando. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Manila.
Take care, Rolando. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours.
Wishing you peace, Rolando. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care
hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
