Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Asif in Gazipur
Asif, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Gazipur.

I'm a home-care aide 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 $470, 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 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Best of luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Asif. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
Wishing you peace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Jakarta donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Gazipur
