Help Wulan patch the roof before the monsoon
Wulan, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Surabaya.
🇮🇩 Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia1,667 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Surabaya. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $580, 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 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.
I hope life is good to you.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Surabaya.
Take care. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 29 people at work
