Roofing help wanted: Jewel's home in Khulna
The roof at Jewel's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇧🇩 Khulna, Bangladesh171 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Khulna. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room 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 corrugated iron sheets and timber. 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope things get better soon, Jewel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 16 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
Take care, Jewel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Bacoor.
sending strength, Jewel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Utrecht donated after I showed her your page
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Khulna. I'll ask around and let you know!
Rooting for you, Jewel. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Good luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Khulna.
