Roofing help wanted: Sakura's home in Fukuoka
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Fukuoka?
🇯🇵 Fukuoka, Japan624 views
I'm a school janitor living in Fukuoka. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,950, 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 4-6 people who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
I hope life is good to you.

you're not alone. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Zapopan.
Stay strong, Sakura. 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. All the best
Wishing you peace, Sakura. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
Hang in there, Sakura. Your post was clear and honest. Take care
