Two weekends of roof repair for Vishnu, a school janitor in Pune

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

Pune
I'm a school janitor living in Pune. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $580, 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 a small crew 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • rooting for you, Vishnu. Hope this works out for you. God bless.

    • Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 26 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Pune

      • Keep going, Vishnu. Shared this with my family. Love from Manchester.

        • Wishing you the best, Vishnu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best

          • Good luck, Vishnu. Shared it with a few friends.
