Two weekends of roof repair for Divya, a retired bus driver in Mumbai
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Mumbai?
๐ฎ๐ณ Mumbai, Maharashtra, India192 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Mumbai. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $560, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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 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.

Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Jimma.
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope you get there. My neighbor in Dhaka donated after I showed her your page!
