Two weekends of roof repair for Shilpa, a widowed grandmother in Mumbai
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Mumbai?
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India1,199 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Mumbai. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $670, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. 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 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.

Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Palermo.
Sending strength, Shilpa. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
