Two weekends of roof repair for Kathleen, a disabled veteran in Cebu City
Kathleen, a disabled veteran, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Cebu City.
🇵🇭 Cebu City, Cebu, Philippines812 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Cebu City. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $530, 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you, Kathleen. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Kathleen. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Cebu City
gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope August is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Cebu City.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

praying for you, Kathleen. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 8 people at work. Thinking of Cebu City.
Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Thanks for sharing this, Kathleen. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Ankara so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Paris.
