Help Arif patch the roof before winter
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Gazipur?
๐ง๐ฉ Dhaka, Bangladesh627 views
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.
