Roofing help wanted: Vanessa's home in Quezon City
Vanessa, a school janitor, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Quezon City.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines845 views
I'm a school janitor living in Quezon 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 $320, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Praying for you, Vanessa. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care.
You're not alone, Vanessa. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. Sent it to 29 people at work. Blessings.
Wishing you peace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My husband and I read this together
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Riverside but we're thinking of you.
keep going. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Niterói.
Thinking of you and your family, Vanessa. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Los Angeles
Thinking of you and your family, Vanessa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Quezon City.
Stay strong, Vanessa. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Saket
sending love, Vanessa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hope it all works out. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Quezon City.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Tel Aviv.
