Help Hatice patch the roof before the monsoon
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Kadıköy?
🇹🇷 Kadıköy, Istanbul, Türkiye842 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Kadıköy. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,400, 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 a small crew 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.
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
Sending good thoughts, Hatice. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Sending strength, Hatice. Shared this with my family. All the best.
Thinking of you, Hatice. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Kasarani

Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Bloemfontein.
wishing you peace. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Vancouver donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Hatice. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Kadıköy.
hope you get there. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Kadıköy.
