I'm a widowed grandmother living in Kochi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen 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 shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over a 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. Thank you so much.

  • Take care. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Ottawa.
