Help Nargis patch the roof before winter
Nargis, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Sylhet.
🇧🇩 Sylhet, Bangladesh448 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Sylhet. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $310, 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 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 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Sylhet.
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Sylhet.
I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Davao City
Keep going, Nargis. This could happen to any of us. Love from Timișoara.
Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 30 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best!
sending strength. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best!
Praying for you, Nargis. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Kingston so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Pune.
Keep going, Nargis. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Love from Marseille
Hope it all works out, Nargis. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted
