Help Sathish patch the roof before winter
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Coimbatore?
🇮🇳 Tamil Nadu, India254 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Coimbatore. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $710, 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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Take care. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Sathish. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Badagry!
Hope you get there. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Coimbatore.
Wishing you the best, Sathish. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 26 people at work. All the best!
