Help Ratul patch the roof before the autumn rains
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Sylhet?
🇧🇩 Sylhet, Bangladesh1,220 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Sylhet. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $260, 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 one long weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Sylhet
