Two weekends of roof repair for Januka, a night-shift nurse in Kathmandu
Januka, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Kathmandu.
🇳🇵 Kathmandu, Bagmati, Nepal427 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Kathmandu. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $310, 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 a weekend.
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.

Hang in there, Januka. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Kathmandu
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Southampton.
hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
