Roofing help wanted: Purvi's home in Patna
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Patna?

I'm a school janitor living in Patna. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $710, 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

Hope it all works out, Purvi. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Patna.
Keep going, Purvi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
