Help Salma patch the roof before winter
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Gazipur?

I'm a widowed grandmother 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 $560, 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there, Salma. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
praying for you, Salma. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Puebla.
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Gazipur.
