Roofing help wanted: Hasini's home in Colombo
Hasini, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Colombo.

I'm a single mother of three living in Colombo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $980, 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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

shared this with my family. Please keep us posted
our local church has an emergency fund, might be worth asking them!
Hope things get better soon, Hasini. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
