Two weekends of roof repair for Khalid, a night-shift nurse in Mardan
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Mardan?
🇵🇰 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan1,330 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Mardan. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $260, 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 anyone handy 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 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.

Good luck, Khalid. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hope things get better soon, Khalid. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
Keep going, Khalid. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Guarulhos this morning. Greetings from Guarulhos.
Wishing you the best. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Lahore.
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. All the best.
