Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Kathleen in San Fernando
Kathleen, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in San Fernando.
🇵🇭 San Fernando, Pampanga, Philippines1,324 views
I'm a single mother of three living in San Fernando. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $490, 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 anyone handy 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone, Kathleen. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of San Fernando.
Hope things get better soon, Kathleen. Hope you get there. Greetings from Austin
Good luck, Kathleen. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Sent it to 24 people at work. Take care.
You're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Rooting for you, Kathleen. I hope things turn around soon!
Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Memphis
Sending good thoughts, Kathleen. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 16 people at work.
Sending strength, Kathleen. Hope this works out for you. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Kathleen. This could happen to any of us
