Help Pooja patch the roof before the next storm
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Mangaluru?

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Mangaluru. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $580, 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 4-6 people 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending good thoughts, Pooja. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Lowell
take care. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Warsaw.
Hope it all works out, Pooja. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
you're not alone, Pooja. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
take care. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Ciudad de M茅xico donated after I showed her your page
sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Sending love, Pooja. Shared this with my family. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Best of luck, Pooja. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
Rooting for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
So sorry you're going through this, Pooja. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Best of luck, Pooja. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Stay strong, Pooja. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update
Hang in there, Pooja. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Mangaluru.
Hang in there. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.

Hope things get better soon, Pooja. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Lyon but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Mangaluru.
