Two weekends of roof repair for Agus, a single mother of three in Jakarta Barat
Agus, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Jakarta Barat.
🇮🇩 Jakarta Barat, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia904 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Jakarta Barat. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $400, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

good luck, Agus. Hope you get there. After 12 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Wishing you the best, Agus. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Please keep us posted. God bless
Good luck, Agus. Hope this works out for you. After 19 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Duque de Caxias
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Medina.
Best of luck, Agus. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
