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

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Gazipur. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $340, 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 anyone handy who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
Glad we found this place.

A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from São Paulo
Sending good thoughts, Rashed. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Thinking of you and your family. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. It's not much but it's yours. Love from New York.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Gazipur.
