Two weekends of roof repair for Sadia, a night-shift nurse in Karachi
The roof at Sadia's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇵🇰 Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan129 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Karachi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $380, 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 4-6 people 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
