Roofing help wanted: Cris's home in Davao City
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Davao City?
🇵🇭 Davao City, Davao del Sur, Philippines505 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Davao City. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $660, 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 three or four volunteers who can help over three weekday mornings.
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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 11 people at work.
Take care, Cris. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Erie but we're thinking of you. Love from Erie.
