Two weekends of roof repair for Eko, a home-care aide in Bogor

Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Bogor?

I'm a home-care aide living in Bogor. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $630, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Jakarta Barat.

    • Mugisha Onyango Kessy

      You're not alone. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.

      • Myra S. Sidhu

        Stay strong, Eko. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.

        • Jameson H. Hawkins

          this could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!

            Good luck, Eko. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

              Hope things get better soon, Eko. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Syracuse so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Bogor
