Two weekends of roof repair for Shirin, a night-shift nurse in Dhaka
Shirin, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Dhaka.

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Dhaka. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $570, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers who can help over two Saturdays.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.

hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
hope things get better soon, Shirin. Hope you get there.
