I'm a retired bus driver living in Surabaya. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $660, 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 a small crew 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.

Rooting for you, Irfan. This could happen to any of us. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Mangaluru.
Thanks for sharing this, Irfan. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Surabaya.
