Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Ikenna in Wudil
The roof at Ikenna's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a home-care aide living in Wudil. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $670, 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 a weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

this could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Wudil
Thinking of you, Ikenna. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Naples.
Hope things get better soon. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Lahore this morning. Blessings
