Pooja, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Mumbai.

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Mumbai. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $900, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over three weekday mornings.
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.
Thank you so much.

Hope things get better soon. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Thinking of you, Pooja. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Pooja. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Keep going, Pooja. I hope things turn around soon
hope it all works out, Pooja. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best!
Sending good thoughts, Pooja. This could happen to any of us. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
Praying for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. It's not much but it's yours!
