Roofing help wanted: Anwar's home in Jeddah
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Jeddah?
🇸🇦 Jeddah, Makkah, Saudi Arabia282 views
I'm a school janitor living in Jeddah. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,100, 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 a small crew 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hang in there, Anwar. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
rooting for you, Anwar. Your post was clear and honest.
