Two weekends of roof repair for Shailesh, a widowed grandmother in Coimbatore

Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Coimbatore?

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Coimbatore. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $590, 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 4-6 people 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    you're not alone, Shailesh. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

      Sending strength. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings

        Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
