Roofing help wanted: Erlangga's home in Bandung
Erlangga, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Bandung.
🇮🇩 Bandung, West Java, Indonesia168 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Bandung. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $700, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers who can help over one long weekend.
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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
