🇱🇰 Dehiwala, Western, Sri Lanka440 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Dehiwala. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $370, 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 a weekend.
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 strength, Tharushi. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. All the best
take care, Tharushi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Dehiwala.
