Roofing help wanted: Vanessa's home in Davao City
The roof at Vanessa's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a retired bus driver living in Davao City. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $410, 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 one long 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Hang in there, Vanessa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Edinburgh
Take care, Vanessa. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
