Two weekends of roof repair for Tareq, a school janitor in Gazipur

Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Gazipur?

Gazipur
I'm a school janitor living in Gazipur. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $360, 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 a small crew 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.

        Hang in there. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.

            Keep going, Tareq. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.

                Sending strength, Tareq. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care

                  Sending good thoughts, Tareq. 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

                    A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in Bari donated after I showed her your page.

                      Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Edmonton so I could bring a meal.

                          You're not alone, Tareq. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
