Two weekends of roof repair for Ismael, a disabled veteran in Makati
The roof at Ismael's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇵🇭 Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines974 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Makati. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $720, 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 three or four volunteers 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 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.
Glad we found this place.

Good luck, Ismael. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
hope things get better soon, Ismael. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Wishing you peace. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings!
You're not alone, Ismael. Looking forward to the next update
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
