Help Taner patch the roof before the next storm
Taner, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Kadıköy.

I'm a home-care aide living in Kadıköy. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $840, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best, Taner. Hope you get there. Thinking of Kadıköy.
Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in São Paulo this morning.
So sorry you're going through this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
Take care, Taner. I hope things turn around soon.
Rooting for you, Taner. This could happen to any of us. Take care!
You're not alone. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps!
Thanks for sharing this, Taner. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon
Praying for you, Taner. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope February is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Keep going, Taner. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 15 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Ankara.
