Help Tae-yang patch the roof before the monsoon

The roof at Tae-yang's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

Seongnam
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Seongnam. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,950, 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 three or four volunteers 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.

  • A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Tokyo.

    • Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Taguig donated after I showed her your page. All the best.

      • Wishing you peace. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

        • Wishing you peace. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.

          • Wishing you peace, Tae-yang. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up.

            • hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Seongnam.

                Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 28 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Seongnam.

                • Best of luck, Tae-yang. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. Take care

                  • Take care, Tae-yang. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
