Roofing help wanted: Joshua's home in Makati
The roof at Joshua's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇵🇭 Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines512 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Makati. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $540, 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 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Tarragona.
Hope things get better soon. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Joshua. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Makati.
best of luck, Joshua. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Frankfurt
sending strength, Joshua. Hope you get there.
Shared this with my family. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this, Joshua. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from New Delhi.
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Sending love, Joshua. Hope this works out for you
