Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Dong-hyun in Mapo
The roof at Dong-hyun's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇰🇷 Mapo, Seoul, South Korea659 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Mapo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,150, 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 anyone handy 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 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 for reading my story.

Wishing you the best. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Nashik.
Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Bahir Dar so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Iași.
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Mapo.
Good luck, Dong-hyun. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together
sending strength, Dong-hyun. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Yogyakarta donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
