Help Lamia patch the roof before winter
The roof at Lamia's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a single mother of three living in Dhaka. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $660, 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 two Saturdays.
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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Thinking of Dhaka.
Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Thinking of you, Lamia. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
