Two weekends of roof repair for Perla, a school janitor in Dasmariñas
The roof at Perla's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a school janitor living in Dasmariñas. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $420, 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 three or four volunteers 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 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, Perla. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together
good luck. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Perla. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Dasmariñas.
Wishing you peace, Perla. 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.
Stay strong, Perla. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Sending strength, Perla. Shared this with my family. Love from Zaria!

Rooting for you, Perla. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Cardiff.
