Help Vino patch the roof before the next storm
Vino, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Jakarta.
🇮🇩 Jakarta, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia378 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Jakarta. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $450, 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 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.

Best of luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Dwarka.
Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
Take care, Vino. It takes guts to ask. Well done
You're not alone. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Feira de Santana.
Sending love. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal. All the best.
