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

I'm a single mother of three 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 $440, 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 4-6 people 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 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.
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you, Shima. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
