Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Shilpa in Mumbai
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Mumbai?

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Mumbai. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $870, 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 three or four volunteers 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Patna so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Poitiers.
Best of luck, Shilpa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did!
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Lahore.
