Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Tarun in Surat
Tarun, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Surat.

I'm a retired bus driver living in Surat. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $540, 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Jacksonville.
Sending strength, Tarun. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
so sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Kumasi but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Praying for you, Tarun. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
