Help Yusuf patch the roof before winter
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Jakarta?
🇮🇩 Jakarta, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia1,464 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Jakarta. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $380, 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 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. After 13 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
so sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Thanks for sharing this, Yusuf. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care.
Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Tel Aviv donated after I showed her your page.
Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. After 19 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
Sending love, Yusuf. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
sending strength, Yusuf. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
