Roofing help wanted: Angel's home in Quezon City
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Quezon City?

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Quezon City. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $870, 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 4-6 people 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you peace, Angel. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Malang this morning. Take care
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Philadelphia so I could bring a meal
Stay strong, Angel. Hope this works out for you. After 10 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Karachi.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Manila donated after I showed her your page. Love from Manila
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Salem.
