Help Noor patch the roof before winter
The roof at Noor's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇪🇬 Cairo, Egypt292 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Cairo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $690, 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 a weekend.
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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you and your family, Noor. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 7 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Cairo
