Roofing help wanted: Isabel's home in Bacoor
The roof at Isabel's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
馃嚨馃嚟 Bacoor, Cavite, PhilippinesPosted Oct 1, 20261,065 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Bacoor. 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 corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Praying for you, Isabel. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Bacoor.
