I'm a disabled veteran living in Peshawar. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $760, 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Please keep us posted. Love from Narayanganj.
So sorry you're going through this, Usman. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 26 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Best of luck, Usman. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Kisumu.
hope it all works out, Usman. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Cox's Bazar
Stay strong, Usman. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
praying for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. All the best.
Take care. Hope this works out for you. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
Sending love, Usman. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Peshawar!
Good luck, Usman. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Put this on a community board in Varanasi this morning. Love from Varanasi.
Best of luck, Usman. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Madrid this morning
wishing you the best, Usman. This could happen to any of us.
