Help Yamini patch the roof before the autumn rains
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Pune?
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India840 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Pune. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $380, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
sending strength, Yamini. I hope things turn around soon
You're not alone, Yamini. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
praying for you, Yamini. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Rooting for you, Yamini. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless!
Sending strength, Yamini. Hope you get there!
Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Gliwice but we're thinking of you. Love from Gliwice.
Hope it all works out, Yamini. I hope things turn around soon. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Pune
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
good luck, Yamini. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings
You're not alone, Yamini. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 19 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Best of luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Rooting for you, Yamini. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Multan.
