Two weekends of roof repair for Babar, a single mother of three in Quetta
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Quetta?
🇵🇰 Balochistan, Pakistan1,455 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Quetta. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $540, 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 anyone handy who can help over three weekday mornings.
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.

stay strong, Babar. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Fukuoka this morning. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Babar. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Quetta!
Wishing you peace, Babar. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Lagos
Sending strength, Babar. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from London.
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
