Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Sangita in Pokhara
The roof at Sangita's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇳🇵 Pokhara, Gandaki, Nepal822 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Pokhara. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $440, 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 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 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.
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts, Sangita. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
Rooting for you, Sangita. Hope this works out for you. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Pokhara
So sorry you're going through this, Sangita. Hope you get there.
Sending good thoughts. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 21 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Sangita. I hope things turn around soon.
thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Buffalo.
Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Pokhara.
