Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Marites in Quezon City

The roof at Marites's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

Quezon City
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Quezon City. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $720, 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 two Saturdays. Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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. Thank you so much.
