Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Ika in Depok
The roof at Ika's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇮🇩 Depok, West Java, Indonesia173 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Depok. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $360, 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 three or four volunteers 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

sending love, Ika. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Depok.
Keep going, Ika. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
Hang in there, Ika. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Depok.
Rooting for you, Ika. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
You're not alone, Ika. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from São Paulo.
