Roofing help wanted: Merve's home in Bursa
Merve, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Bursa.
🇹🇷 Bursa, Bursa, Türkiye502 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Bursa. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $970, 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 4-6 people 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 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

You're not alone, Merve. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
thinking of you and your family, Merve. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from São Paulo.
