Roofing help wanted: Ratul's home in Chattogram
The roof at Ratul's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇧🇩 Chattogram, Bangladesh822 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Chattogram. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $300, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone, Ratul. Shared it with a few friends.
Best of luck, Ratul. I hope things turn around soon. After 29 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thinking of you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Novosibirsk
