Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Janani in Nagpur
The roof at Janani's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇮🇳 Nagpur, Maharashtra, India588 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Nagpur. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $830, 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 two Saturdays.
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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Take care, Janani. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Onitsha this morning
sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Please keep us posted.
Wishing you peace, Janani. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
stay strong, Janani. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Atlanta.
