Help Madhu patch the roof before the autumn rains
The roof at Madhu's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇮🇳 Delhi, India577 views
I'm a single mother of three living in New Delhi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $540, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
