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

I'm a retired bus driver living in Thane. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $450, 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 anyone handy 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 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Thane.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from San Jose.
Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Essen donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Thane.
