Help Vilai patch the roof before the autumn rains
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Khon Kaen?
🇹🇭 Khon Kaen, Thailand1,250 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Khon Kaen. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $700, 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 4-6 people 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Please keep us posted.
Take care. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in London this morning.
you're not alone, Vilai. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Khon Kaen.
Hope it all works out. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. God bless

sending strength, Vilai. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

Thanks for sharing this, Vilai. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care
So sorry you're going through this, Vilai. I hope things turn around soon.
Sending strength, Vilai. Hope you get there. Sent it to 30 people at work.
You're not alone. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Reading.
