Roofing help wanted: Maricel's home in Makati
The roof at Maricel's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇵🇭 Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines743 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Makati. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 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 tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers who can help over a weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. 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 hope life is good to you.

Hope things get better soon, Maricel. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Surabaya so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Praying for you, Maricel. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Nashik
stay strong, Maricel. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Nijmegen.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Maricel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
you're not alone, Maricel. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
thinking of you and your family, Maricel. Your post was clear and honest. I hope November is when things finally get easier!
Rooting for you, Maricel. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
