Help Prasad patch the roof before winter
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Madurai?
🇮🇳 Tamil Nadu, India516 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Madurai. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $300, 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 anyone handy who can help over three weekday mornings.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.

Best of luck, Prasad. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Good luck, Prasad. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Syracuse
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Cairo this morning. All the best.
Shared it with a few friends. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Take care, Prasad. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
