I'm a home-care aide living in Makati. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $790, 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 a small crew who can help over one long 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.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Swansea but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Thinking of you, Gerald. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
