Two weekends of roof repair for Abdul, a retired bus driver in Dhaka
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Dhaka?
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh477 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Dhaka. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $330, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

best of luck, Abdul. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update.
Wishing you peace, Abdul. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Dhaka.
Sending strength. 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. Take care
