I'm a disabled veteran living in Gujranwala. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $220, 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 a weekend.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you peace, Babar. This could happen to any of us. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Best of luck, Babar. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 26 people at work.
shared this with my family. Greetings from San Sebastián.
Thanks for sharing this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
