Shirin, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Comilla.

I'm a single mother of three living in Comilla. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $430, 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 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 hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you and your family, Shirin. Shared this with my family. God bless
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
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 Burnaby.
So sorry you're going through this, Shirin. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
