Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Lester in Bacolod

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Bacolod. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $410, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over two Saturdays.
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.

Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope October is when things finally get easier. God bless
Best of luck, Lester. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Feira de Santana donated after I showed her your page. Love from Feira de Santana.
