Help Sultana patch the roof before the rainy season

Sultana, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Gazipur.

Gazipur
I'm a home-care aide living in Gazipur. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $460, 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 three weekday mornings. 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

          Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Bacoor!

            a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 27 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
