Two weekends of roof repair for Nam, a school janitor in Hanoi
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Hanoi?

I'm a school janitor 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 $280, 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 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.
Thank you so much.

Sending love, Nam. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon
Sending good thoughts, Nam. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Sending strength, Nam. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted.
You're not alone, Nam. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Rooting for you, Nam. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Stay strong, Nam. Looking forward to the next update. Take care
