Roofing help wanted: Bappy's home in Mumbai
Bappy, a disabled veteran, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Mumbai.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India54 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Mumbai. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen 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 roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

- three weekday mornings

Hang in there, Bappy. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
Sending good thoughts. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Semarang.
