Two weekends of roof repair for Minh, a widowed grandmother in Hanoi

The roof at Minh's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

Hanoi
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Hanoi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $950, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. 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 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Wishing you the best. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.

      Wishing you the best, Minh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Medellín so I could bring a meal. All the best.

        This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Alcalá de Henares this morning
