Help Emon patch the roof before winter
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Savar?
🇧🇩 Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh202 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Savar. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $440, 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 two Saturdays.
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.
I hope life is good to you.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Surat.
Hang in there, Emon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Cần Thơ.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
