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

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Medan. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom 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 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 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.

You're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Hope things get better soon, Rudi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Nagpur but we're thinking of you.
praying for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
Best of luck, Rudi. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Medan.
