Two weekends of roof repair for Nenita, a widowed grandmother in Lapu-Lapu
The roof at Nenita's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Lapu-Lapu. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $760, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people who can help over a weekend.
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.
Thank you so much.

Hope it all works out, Nenita. Shared this with my family. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
thinking of you and your family, Nenita. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Lapu-Lapu.
