Roofing help wanted: Shapla's home in Narayanganj
The roof at Shapla's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇧🇩 Narayanganj, Dhaka, Bangladesh412 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Narayanganj. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $370, 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 anyone handy who can help over one long 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from La Plata.
keep going, Shapla. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings
rooting for you, Shapla. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless
Good luck, Shapla. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Narayanganj.
