Roofing help wanted: Priyanka's home in Mangaluru
The roof at Priyanka's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇮🇳 Mangaluru, Karnataka, India820 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Mangaluru. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $510, 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 anyone handy 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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you and your family, Priyanka. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't give up.
Thanks for sharing this, Priyanka. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
Wishing you the best. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Stay strong, Priyanka. 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. Thinking of Mangaluru
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Mangaluru.
