Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Murugan in Mumbai
The roof at Murugan's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a home-care aide living in Mumbai. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $480, 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 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 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.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. It's not much but it's yours!
Hope things get better soon, Murugan. Hope you get there. Take care
Take care, Murugan. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
Wishing you peace, Murugan. Hope this works out for you.
