Help Souad patch the roof before winter
Souad, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Jeddah.

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Jeddah. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,450, 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 two Saturdays.
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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

good luck, Souad. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon!
You're not alone, Souad. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Sending good thoughts, Souad. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Rockford.
thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Makati donated after I showed her your page. Love from Makati.
good luck. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Angeles.
Best of luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Jeddah
Hang in there, Souad. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Keep going, Souad. This could happen to any of us. Blessings!
Hang in there, Souad. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Jeddah
thinking of you, Souad. Hope you get there.
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. After 28 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
