Two weekends of roof repair for Taslima, a home-care aide in Dhaka
The roof at Taslima's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Bangladesh1,674 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Dhaka. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $350, 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 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.

Rooting for you, Taslima. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Take care
