Help Trinh patch the roof before the next storm
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Hanoi?
🇻🇳 Hanoi, Hanoi, Vietnam1,520 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Hanoi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $910, 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you, Trinh. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 37 people at work. Take care.
hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Manila
Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
