Help Mousumi patch the roof before the rainy season
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Gazipur?
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Bangladesh1,028 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Gazipur. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $230, 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 4-6 people who can help over one long weekend.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

hang in there, Mousumi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Abbottabad donated after I showed her your page.

So sorry you're going through this, Mousumi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 29 people at work. Love from Tema.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from New Delhi.
Thinking of you and your family, Mousumi. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
