Roofing help wanted: Bryan's home in Lapu-Lapu
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Lapu-Lapu?
🇵🇭 Cebu, Philippines1,067 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Lapu-Lapu. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $390, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Parramatta
Keep going, Bryan. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings
wishing you the best. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Manchester.
hang in there, Bryan. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
