Roofing help wanted: Asad's home in Karachi
Asad, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Karachi.
🇵🇰 Sindh, Pakistan1,542 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Karachi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $390, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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.
