Roofer needed urgently: Tithi's home isn't safe
A roofer is needed to repair faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning at the home of a family of 5.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh1,628 views
In December an inspector told me that my home has faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning. It's a safety risk for me and my three children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $160 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed roofer who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $10.
The job should take about six hours. I'll make sure someone is home and will provide refreshments. I can share the inspector's written report on request.
If you're a roofer and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Glad we found this place.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Dhaka.
Rooting for you, Tithi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Thessaloniki.
Wishing you peace, Tithi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Busan donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Newport
Hope it all works out, Tithi. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
