Roofing help wanted: Allan's home in Manila
The roof at Allan's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines96 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Manila. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $730, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Keep going. Hope you get there. Thinking of Manila.
Stay strong, Allan. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Tokyo so I could bring a meal. Love from Dehiwala
keep going, Allan. Looking forward to the next update. God bless
