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

I'm a school janitor living in Gazipur. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $580, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

sending love, Lipi. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Sending love, Lipi. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
