Help Krishna patch the roof before the next storm

The roof at Krishna's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a disabled veteran living in Kathmandu. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $770, 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 three or four volunteers who can help over two Saturdays. 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Keep going, Krishna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Kathmandu.

    • Denise Elliott

      Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Mombasa so I could bring a meal. All the best.

              Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.

              • Ebuka Segun Uzor

                hang in there, Krishna. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
