Two weekends of roof repair for Rahim, a retired bus driver in Dhaka
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Dhaka?

I'm a retired bus driver living in Dhaka. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $350, 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 a small crew 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Miami this morning. God bless.
Praying for you, Rahim. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Stay strong, Rahim. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Calgary but we're thinking of you.
Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Essen.
Keep going, Rahim. Shared this with my family
