Two weekends of roof repair for Alok, a night-shift nurse in New Delhi
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in New Delhi?
🇮🇳 Delhi, India736 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in New Delhi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $570, 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 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 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.

Sending good thoughts, Alok. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted.
Thanks for sharing this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from San Diego.
thinking of you, Alok. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Your post was clear and honest. After 15 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Lahore
