Two weekends of roof repair for Joko, a night-shift nurse in Jakarta Selatan
The roof at Joko's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇮🇩 DKI Jakarta, Indonesia784 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Jakarta Selatan. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $690, 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 anyone handy 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.

Sending strength, Joko. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Dayton!
