Roofing help wanted: Hoa's home in Cần Thơ
Hoa, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Cần Thơ.
🇻🇳 Cần Thơ, Cần Thơ, Vietnam553 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Cần Thơ. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $410, 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
