Help Teresita patch the roof before the next storm

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

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Manila. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $810, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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. Glad we found this place.
