Roofing help wanted: Huda's home in Medina
The roof at Huda's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇸🇦 Medina, Madinah, Saudi Arabia319 views
I'm a school janitor living in Medina. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,100, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people who can help over three weekday mornings.
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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Keep going, Huda. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. Love from Mumbai.
Keep going. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Medina.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Medina.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hang in there, Huda. I hope things turn around soon.
sending good thoughts, Huda. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hang in there. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
