Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Ajay in Salem
The roof at Ajay's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇮🇳 Salem, Tamil Nadu, India527 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Salem. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $370, 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 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.
Glad we found this place.

Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Jakarta
Hang in there. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
Wishing you the best, Ajay. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't give up. God bless.
Rooting for you, Ajay. I hope things turn around soon!
Wishing you the best. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
