Help Shirin patch the roof before the rainy season
The roof at Shirin's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇧🇩 Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh1,549 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Savar. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $300, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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.
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Rotterdam
Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care!
