Help Emilia patch the roof before the monsoon
The roof at Emilia's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a retired bus driver living in Augsburg. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,450, 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 anyone handy 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 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Wishing you peace, Emilia. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. God bless.
Best of luck, Emilia. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
Take care, Emilia. Shared this with my family
Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal.
