Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Sachin in Mumbai
Sachin, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Mumbai.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India546 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Mumbai. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $940, 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 three weekday mornings.
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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Mumbai.
You're not alone, Sachin. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Sending love, Sachin. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
Sending good thoughts, Sachin. Looking forward to the next update. God bless

Hang in there, Sachin. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Sachin. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Toledo
Praying for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Sending strength, Sachin. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Hang in there, Sachin. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Malang but we're thinking of you.
Thanks for sharing this, Sachin. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. God bless.
