I'm a school janitor living in Vadodara. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $500, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

thinking of you and your family, Ananya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Ananya. Hope you get there. Thinking of Vadodara
rooting for you. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
Rooting for you, Ananya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
Stay strong. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Kinondoni.
Keep going, Ananya. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Thinking of you and your family. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Laredo but we're thinking of you.
Hope things get better soon. 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. God bless.
Take care, Ananya. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Vadodara

Good luck. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Sending good thoughts, Ananya. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Campinas donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Campinas

Sending love, Ananya. Your post was clear and honest. Take care
Best of luck, Ananya. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
