Help Diya patch the roof before the autumn rains
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Agra?
🇮🇳 Uttar Pradesh, India1,227 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Agra. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $970, 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 anyone handy 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Santos donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Agra.
Sending strength, Diya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. God bless!
