Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Salman in Lahore
The roof at Salman's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇵🇰 Punjab, Pakistan919 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Lahore. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $220, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.
