Roofing help wanted: Umar's home in Jakarta
The roof at Umar's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇮🇩 Jakarta, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia1,348 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Jakarta. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $320, 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 three or four volunteers 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 work boots and a hat. 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.
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Jakarta.
