I'm a widowed grandmother living in Jalandhar. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $440, 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 a small crew 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 work boots and a hat. 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 hope life is good to you.

Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Stay strong. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Chicago this morning.
so sorry you're going through this, Farhana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
