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

I'm a home-care aide living in Bang Khen. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $650, 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 a small crew who can help over a weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.

I live about 5 km from Bang Khen. I can help at the weekend, tell me what you need. Flexible on timing.

Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Bang Khen.
Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Lahore.
hope it all works out. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. All the best
Hope you get there. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Sheffield
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal.
