Help Vinh patch the roof before the autumn rains
Vinh, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Hồ Chí Minh City.
🇻🇳 Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam210 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Hồ Chí Minh City. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $490, 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 a small crew 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in San Antonio donated after I showed her your page
wishing you the best, Vinh. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
