Roofing help wanted: Mohammed's home in Heliopolis
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Heliopolis?
🇪🇬 Cairo, Egypt1,161 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Heliopolis. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $750, 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 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Milan so I could bring a meal. God bless
Good luck, Mohammed. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
Hope it all works out. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Heliopolis
hang in there, Mohammed. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
