Help Hussain patch the roof before winter
The roof at Hussain's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇵🇰 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan944 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Abbottabad. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $340, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending strength, Hussain. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope November is when things finally get easier
Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Abbottabad!
Hope things get better soon, Hussain. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this, Hussain. Hope you get there. All the best.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
Thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Abbottabad
Hang in there, Hussain. I hope things turn around soon. All the best
You're not alone, Hussain. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Melbourne
Hang in there. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Contagem.
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Sandton donated after I showed her your page. All the best
Rooting for you, Hussain. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 12 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
