Help Arif patch the roof before winter

Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Gazipur?

I'm a home-care aide living in Gazipur. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $220, 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 a weekend. 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • Shared it with a few friends. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.

    • You're not alone, Arif. Shared it with a few friends. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
