I'm a night-shift nurse living in Islamabad. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $430, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. 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 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.
Thank you so much.

Take care, Nida. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 13 people at work. Thinking of Islamabad.
Stay strong, Nida. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Hope you get there. Thinking of Islamabad.

You're not alone, Nida. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 19 people at work. Take care.
