Roofing help wanted: Hasan's home in Dhaka
The roof at Hasan's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh802 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Dhaka. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $260, 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 two Saturdays.
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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Bari.
Good luck, Hasan. Your post was clear and honest. God bless
