I'm a single mother of three living in Konya. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $500, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. 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 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.

Sending love, Yusuf. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
You're not alone, Yusuf. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Thanks for sharing this. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Ciudad de México.

Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
Sending strength, Yusuf. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Leicester.
