Roofing help wanted: Trinh's home in Thủ Đức
The roof at Trinh's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇻🇳 Thủ Đức, Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam170 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Thủ Đức. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $590, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Keep going, Trinh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Thinking of you, Trinh. Hope this works out for you. Blessings
