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

I'm a school janitor living in Bacolod. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $450, 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 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
Thinking of you, Rodel. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Stay strong, Rodel. I hope things turn around soon
wishing you the best, Rodel. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
Stay strong, Rodel. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 18 people at work.

Take care. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Wudil
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Multan but we're thinking of you.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Gwagwalada
Good luck, Rodel. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Pasig
Best of luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps!
