Help Ebru patch the roof before the monsoon
The roof at Ebru's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a retired bus driver living in Konya. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,300, 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 one long weekend.
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.
I hope life is good to you.

Sending love, Ebru. Your post was clear and honest.
stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 12 people at work. God bless
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Puebla so I could bring a meal.
Hope things get better soon, Ebru. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
