Help Talha patch the roof before the next storm
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Islamabad?
🇵🇰 Islamabad Capital Territory, Pakistan938 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Islamabad. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $450, 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 a weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.

Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Talha. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Rohini!
Stay strong, Talha. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 15 people at work. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Talha. I hope things turn around soon
sending strength, Talha. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Pasig donated after I showed her your page. Take care
take care, Talha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
