I'm a school janitor living in Colombo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $470, 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 a small crew 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope it all works out, Chamari. Hope you get there. All the best.
wishing you peace, Chamari. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Arusha
Hope things get better soon, Chamari. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope September is when things finally get easier. God bless.
