Two weekends of roof repair for Yash, a widowed grandmother in Mumbai
The roof at Yash's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Mumbai. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $800, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers who can help over a 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Brampton.
