Gunawan, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Malang.

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Malang. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom 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 roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hang in there. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Malang.
sending strength, Gunawan. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Malang.
Wishing you peace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Rochester so I could bring a meal. God bless.
