Dehiwala
I'm a single mother of three living in Dehiwala. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $390, 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 4-6 people 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 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

                Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal.
