Roofing help wanted: Devi's home in Mysuru
Devi, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Mysuru.
🇮🇳 Mysuru, Karnataka, India1,125 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Mysuru. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $540, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Praying for you, Devi. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Los Angeles.
