Two weekends of roof repair for Kausar, a widowed grandmother in Lahore
The roof at Kausar's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Lahore. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $360, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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 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 hope life is good to you.

Sending love, Kausar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from San Francisco.
sending love. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Best of luck, Kausar. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Nottingham so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Lahore.
