Two weekends of roof repair for Akari, a night-shift nurse in Kobe
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Kobe?
🇯🇵 Hyogo, Japan1,306 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Kobe. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,050, 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

You're not alone, Akari. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Take care, Akari. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together.
Keep going, Akari. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Buffalo
sending love, Akari. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Sending strength, Akari. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
stay strong. Shared this with my family. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.

Good luck, Akari. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
