Roofing help wanted: Sharmila's home in Bhaktapur
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Bhaktapur?
🇳🇵 Bagmati, Nepal903 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Bhaktapur. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room 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 tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
Sending strength, Sharmila. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
