I'm a home-care aide living in Durgapur. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen 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 anyone handy 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 work boots and a hat. 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 strength, Sunita. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Thinking of you, Sunita. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend

Hope it all works out, Sunita. Hope you get there. All the best
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Good luck, Sunita. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care!
