Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Pranav in Gaya
The roof at Pranav's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇮🇳 Gaya, Bihar, India1,069 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Gaya. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $530, 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 4-6 people 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.

Hope it all works out, Pranav. Hope you get there. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this, Pranav. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Guadalajara.
So sorry you're going through this, Pranav. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
Sending good thoughts, Pranav. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Take care. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Nuremberg.

You're not alone. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Gaya.
Stay strong. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Maringá.
