Help Umar patch the roof before the autumn rains
Umar, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Abbottabad.
🇵🇰 Abbottabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan740 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Abbottabad. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $420, 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 two Saturdays.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Keep going, Umar. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in San Jose this morning.
Praying for you, Umar. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
hope things get better soon, Umar. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
