Help Gita patch the roof before the next storm
The roof at Gita's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇳🇵 Dharan, Koshi, Nepal557 views
I'm a school janitor living in Dharan. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $830, 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 4-6 people 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 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.
Glad we found this place.

Good luck, Gita. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
