Two weekends of roof repair for Tareq, a home-care aide in Gazipur
Tareq, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Gazipur.
🇧🇩 Gazipur, Dhaka, Bangladesh401 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Gazipur. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $440, 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 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you the best, Tareq. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Gazipur.
Praying for you, Tareq. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Tareq. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Baton Rouge.
Keep going, Tareq. Shared it with a few friends. After 16 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Bowling Green.
Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Piraeus so I could bring a meal.
keep going, Tareq. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 5 people at work
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in Tamale donated after I showed her your page.
