I'm a home-care aide living in Caloocan. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $490, 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 a small crew who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. After 16 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings
Keep going, Gemma. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
You're not alone. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care.
