Cairo
I'm a retired bus driver living in Cairo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $270, 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 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

    Thinking of you, Dina. Shared it with a few friends. Take care

      Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Dallas but we're thinking of you.

      • Osama Mohammed Mebarek

        Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Liverpool this morning. All the best

          Rooting for you, Dina. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Abbottabad donated after I showed her your page. God bless.

          • Ellie Neal

            Hang in there, Dina. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Sacramento but we're thinking of you.

                You're not alone, Dina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best

                  I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Cebu City so I could bring a meal
