Roofing help wanted: Tamanna's home in Chennai
Tamanna, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Chennai.

I'm a single mother of three living in Chennai. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $400, 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 a small crew 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

hope it all works out, Tamanna. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless
You're not alone. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. It's not much but it's yours
Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
