Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Mythili in Mumbai
The roof at Mythili'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 4 places, and the kitchen 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 corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.

Best of luck, Mythili. Hope you get there. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Mythili. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Love from Tiruchirappalli.
Thanks for sharing this, Mythili. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
take care, Mythili. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 39 people at work. Take care.
