Roofing help wanted: Ploy's home in Bangkok
The roof at Ploy's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇹🇭 Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand658 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Bangkok. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $650, 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 4-6 people 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Bangkok.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Bangkok.
Take care, Ploy. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Praying for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care!
