Roofing help wanted: Bunga's home in Jakarta

Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Jakarta?

I'm a school janitor living in Jakarta. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $430, 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 three or four volunteers 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Buenos Aires so I could bring a meal.

    • Sending strength, Bunga. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Blessings

      • Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
