Two weekends of roof repair for Bhavna, a widowed grandmother in Mangaluru
The roof at Bhavna's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Mangaluru. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $710, 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 two Saturdays.
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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there, Bhavna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours.
