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

I'm a disabled veteran living in Faisalabad. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $680, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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.
Thank you so much.

So sorry you're going through this, Rabia. Hope you get there. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Thinking of you and your family, Rabia. Shared it with a few friends. All the best
Good luck, Rabia. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Take care, Rabia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Kampala
Thanks for sharing this, Rabia. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
