Two weekends of roof repair for Ramesh, a home-care aide in Lalitpur
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Lalitpur?

I'm a home-care aide living in Lalitpur. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $600, 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 three or four volunteers 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

sending good thoughts, Ramesh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
stay strong, Ramesh. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Hawassa
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings!
