Roofing help wanted: Deepa's home in Prayagraj
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Prayagraj?
🇮🇳 Uttar Pradesh, India1,698 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Prayagraj. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $670, 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Novosibirsk.

Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Santa Rosa.
Best of luck, Deepa. Hope this works out for you. After 9 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Prayagraj.
take care, Deepa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
