Roofing help wanted: Rashid's home in Jeddah

Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Jeddah?

Jeddah
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Jeddah. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,900, 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 two Saturdays. 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. Thank you for reading my story.

  • You're not alone, Rashid. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Savar so I could bring a meal.
