Help Kemal patch the roof before the autumn rains
Kemal, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Istanbul.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Türkiye1,214 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Istanbul. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,200, 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 anyone handy who can help over a 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Stay strong, Kemal. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Kemal. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Hannover this morning.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt.
