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

I'm a home-care aide living in Nha Trang. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $310, 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 three weekday mornings.
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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Your post was clear and honest. Love from Mansoura.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Chicago
Wishing you peace, Uyên. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Addis Ababa but we're thinking of you. Love from Addis Ababa.
Good luck, Uyên. Your post was clear and honest. All the best
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Nha Trang.
Sending good thoughts, Uyên. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Istanbul so I could bring a meal.
I hope things turn around soon. Love from Half-Way Tree
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Nha Trang
Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Nha Trang.
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Greetings from Kasarani!
You're not alone, Uyên. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
