Two weekends of roof repair for Jigna, a single mother of three in Pune
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Pune?
🇮🇳 Pune, Maharashtra, India839 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Pune. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $790, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending good thoughts. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 22 people at work. Blessings
Good luck, Jigna. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Cairo this morning. Greetings from Cairo.
