Roofing help wanted: Ruwini's home in Dehiwala
The roof at Ruwini's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇱🇰 Western, Sri Lanka159 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Dehiwala. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $930, 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 three or four volunteers 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending love, Ruwini. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
