Help Rashid patch the roof before winter
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Lahore?
🇵🇰 Punjab, Pakistan616 views
I'm a school janitor living in Lahore. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $420, 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this, Rashid. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Munich.
wishing you peace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
sending good thoughts, Rashid. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
hang in there, Rashid. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 22 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Lahore.
