Roofing help wanted: Deepa's home in Howrah
Deepa, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Howrah.
🇮🇳 Howrah, West Bengal, India467 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Howrah. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $850, 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Praying for you. Shared this with my family. All the best
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
best of luck, Deepa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Love from Accra.
I hope things turn around soon. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
