Two weekends of roof repair for Umar, a single mother of three in Lahore

The roof at Umar's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a single mother of three living in Lahore. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $500, 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 a 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    Stay strong. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.

      Wishing you peace, Umar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Guarulhos but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Lahore
