Roofing help wanted: Karim's home in Medina
Karim, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Medina.
🇸🇦 Medina, Madinah, Saudi Arabia1,124 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Medina. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,500, 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 three or four volunteers 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Praying for you, Karim. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Lahore so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Rawalpindi
Thinking of you and your family, Karim. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Medina!
So sorry you're going through this, Karim. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Take care, Karim. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Medina.
You're not alone, Karim. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Karim. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
