Roofing help wanted: Marites's home in Iloilo City
The roof at Marites's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇵🇭 Iloilo City, Iloilo, Philippines377 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Iloilo City. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $610, 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 anyone handy 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Rooting for you, Marites. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Gazipur.
Hope things get better soon, Marites. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Heliopolis
Good luck, Marites. Hope you get there. Thinking of Iloilo City
keep going. Hope this works out for you. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
