Roofing help wanted: Ali's home in Bornova
The roof at Ali's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇹🇷 İzmir, Türkiye458 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Bornova. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,050, 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 one long 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.
Thank you so much.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Praying for you, Ali. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
