Roofing help wanted: Ramesh's home in Nagpur
The roof at Ramesh's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India986 views
I'm a school janitor living in Nagpur. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $460, 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 three or four volunteers 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

wishing you the best, Ramesh. Shared this with my family.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Rooting for you, Ramesh. Looking forward to the next update. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Lowell donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
Sending good thoughts, Ramesh. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
