Two weekends of roof repair for Dewi, a night-shift nurse in Bandung
The roof at Dewi's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇮🇩 Bandung, West Java, Indonesia703 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Bandung. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $570, 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 three or four volunteers who can help over three weekday mornings.
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.
Thank you so much.

best of luck, Dewi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 39 people at work. Love from Thane.

Hope things get better soon, Dewi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings

Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Coyoacán
