Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Yong-jun in Daegu
Yong-jun, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Daegu.
🇰🇷 Daegu, Daegu, South Korea610 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Daegu. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,700, 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 one long weekend.
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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

sending good thoughts, Yong-jun. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
rooting for you, Yong-jun. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
this could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Daegu.
Wishing you the best, Yong-jun. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Liverpool but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Gujranwala.
