Roofing help wanted: Slamet's home in Jakarta Selatan
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Jakarta Selatan?
🇮🇩 DKI Jakarta, Indonesia563 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Jakarta Selatan. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $280, 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 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.
Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing this, Slamet. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Montego Bay.
so sorry you're going through this, Slamet. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Nottingham.
so sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Hồ Chí Minh City donated after I showed her your page. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.
Hope things get better soon, Slamet. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
shared it with a few friends. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Jakarta Selatan.
hope it all works out, Slamet. Shared it with a few friends.
