Roofing help wanted: Usman's home in Lahore
The roof at Usman's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇵🇰 Punjab, Pakistan693 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Lahore. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $530, 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 one long weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Lahore.
