Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Tahmina in Mumbai
The roof at Tahmina's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a single mother of three 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 $520, 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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
