Roofing help wanted: Shefali's home in Narayanganj

Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Narayanganj?

Narayanganj
I'm a single mother of three living in Narayanganj. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $470, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. 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.

                Sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Narayanganj

                          Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Detroit this morning.
