Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Kamran in Faisalabad
The roof at Kamran's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇵🇰 Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan788 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Faisalabad. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $480, 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 anyone handy who can help over three weekday mornings.
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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Praying for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Sending strength, Kamran. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.

So sorry you're going through this, Kamran. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Faisalabad
Wishing you peace, Kamran. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Rooting for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
