Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Ismael in Bacoor
The roof at Ismael's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a school janitor living in Bacoor. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $710, 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength, Ismael. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. God bless
Sending strength, Ismael. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 7 people at work. All the best.
Sending strength, Ismael. Shared this with my family.
keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
good luck, Ismael. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
