Two weekends of roof repair for Tarun, a night-shift nurse in Mumbai
The roof at Tarun's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India325 views
I'm a night-shift nurse 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 $650, 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 three or four volunteers 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.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Sending good thoughts, Tarun. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings.
You're not alone. Hope you get there. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Tarun. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Accra but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Mumbai
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Kazan.
Sending strength, Tarun. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Bakersfield.
