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

I'm a single mother of three living in Tiruchirappalli. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $580, 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 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 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.
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Dortmund
Sending good thoughts. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'll check back for the next update
I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Likoni donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Likoni.
I hope things turn around soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
You're not alone, Yamini. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Tiruchirappalli
sending good thoughts, Yamini. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Wishing you the best, Yamini. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
