I'm a disabled veteran living in Kathmandu. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $760, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people who can help over a 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.
Thank you so much.

Wishing you peace, Hari. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning.
Hope things get better soon. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Lahore.
Sending good thoughts, Hari. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Kathmandu.
Hope things get better soon, Hari. Hope you get there
