Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Yumi in Kitakyushu

Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Kitakyushu?

Kitakyushu
I'm a home-care aide living in Kitakyushu. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,100, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
