Roofing help wanted: Yamini's home in Thane
The roof at Yamini's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇮🇳 Thane, Maharashtra, India626 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Thane. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $390, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over one long 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Take care. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Thane
Hope things get better soon. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 11 people at work
So sorry you're going through this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Thika.
Sending love, Yamini. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Yamini. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
You're not alone, Yamini. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Love from San Francisco.
Hope it all works out, Yamini. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
rooting for you, Yamini. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Thane.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out
Sending strength, Yamini. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
