Two weekends of roof repair for Kanchana, a home-care aide in Kandy
The roof at Kanchana's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a home-care aide living in Kandy. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $360, 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 anyone handy 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Kandy.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to San Nicolás de los Garza so I could bring a meal. Blessings
best of luck, Kanchana. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Kandy.
