Two weekends of roof repair for Dimas, a widowed grandmother in Bandung
The roof at Dimas's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇮🇩 West Java, Indonesia223 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Bandung. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $930, 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 anyone handy 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending good thoughts, Dimas. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Vancouver donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
You're not alone, Dimas. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Dimas. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
Wishing you the best, Dimas. Hope you get there. Thinking of Bandung.
Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Seoul but we're thinking of you.
