Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Senthil in Coimbatore
The roof at Senthil's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇮🇳 Tamil Nadu, India449 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Coimbatore. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $600, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Santa Fe.
You're not alone, Senthil. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. God bless.
