Help Sumaiya patch the roof before the monsoon
The roof at Sumaiya's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇮🇳 Muzaffarpur, Bihar, India532 views
I'm a school janitor living in Muzaffarpur. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $840, 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 three or four volunteers who can help over one long weekend.
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.
I hope life is good to you.

Hang in there, Sumaiya. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Cluj-Napoca
Wishing you the best, Sumaiya. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together.
