Two weekends of roof repair for Lukman, a single mother of three in Jakarta Selatan
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Jakarta Selatan?
🇮🇩 DKI Jakarta, Indonesia906 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Jakarta Selatan. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $460, 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 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 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you the best, Lukman. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Hope you get there. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Ottawa.
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Jakarta Selatan!
So sorry you're going through this, Lukman. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't give up. Greetings from Palermo.
Sending good thoughts, Lukman. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
praying for you, Lukman. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.

Wishing you peace, Lukman. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 12 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything
Thanks for sharing this, Lukman. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
