Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Uzma in Lahore
Uzma, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Lahore.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan243 views
I'm a home-care aide 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 $340, 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good luck, Uzma. This could happen to any of us
Praying for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 14 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope it all works out, Uzma. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. It's not much but it's yours.
Take care, Uzma. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Keep going, Uzma. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Kikuyu so I could bring a meal.
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 15 people at work. Thinking of Lahore
Sending love, Uzma. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 16 people at work. All the best.
thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Lahore.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Manchester.
So sorry you're going through this, Uzma. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
