I'm a retired bus driver living in Dehiwala. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $890, 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 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.
Thank you so much.

Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. Love from Warangal.
rooting for you, Gihan. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 10 people at work.
Sending strength, Gihan. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in C贸rdoba donated after I showed her your page.
