Help Tariq patch the roof before the autumn rains
The roof at Tariq's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a disabled veteran living in Multan. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $590, 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 three or four volunteers 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.

Keep going, Tariq. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Los Angeles
Hope things get better soon, Tariq. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Multan
