Roofing help wanted: Erlangga's home in Medan
The roof at Erlangga's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Medan. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $480, 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.
Glad we found this place.

hang in there, Erlangga. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Medan.
Wishing you peace, Erlangga. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Gazipur.
good luck, Erlangga. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together
