Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Rakib in Gazipur
The roof at Rakib's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇧🇩 Gazipur, Dhaka, Bangladesh392 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Gazipur. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $310, 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 a small crew who can help over one long 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending strength, Rakib. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Gazipur.
Thinking of you, Rakib. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Kingston so I could bring a meal.
Thinking of you and your family, Rakib. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Gazipur
Sending strength, Rakib. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. After 22 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
