Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Paolo in Quezon City
The roof at Paolo's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇵🇭 Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines1,019 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Quezon City. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room 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 roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope it all works out, Paolo. I hope things turn around soon
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Bhopal so I could bring a meal.
sending love. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Toronto.
I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out
wishing you peace. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Blessings
Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless!
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Los Angeles
Keep going, Paolo. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
