Roofing help wanted: Samir's home in Giza
The roof at Samir's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇪🇬 Giza, Egypt1,042 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Giza. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $810, 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 anyone handy who can help over a 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Blessings
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Likoni.
rooting for you, Samir. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Hope you get there. After 17 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Good luck. Hope you get there. Greetings from Tampa.
Sending good thoughts, Samir. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Giza.
