Help Basma patch the roof before the next storm
Basma, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Rabat.

I'm a home-care aide living in Rabat. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $570, 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 a small crew 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.

Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Wollongong.
You're not alone, Basma. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt.

Take care, Basma. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Rabat
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Nashik.
