Two weekends of roof repair for Faith, a widowed grandmother in Davao City
The roof at Faith's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇵🇭 Davao City, Davao del Sur, Philippines101 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Davao City. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $870, 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 a weekend.
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.

thinking of you, Faith. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope November is when things finally get easier
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Davao City.
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from San Miguel de Tucumán
