Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Taiga in Setagaya
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Setagaya?
🇯🇵 Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan307 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Setagaya. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,850, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone, Taiga. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Faisalabad this morning.
Shared this with my family. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Dayton
Wishing you peace, Taiga. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Ikeja this morning. Love from Ikeja.
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Kraków.
