Roofing help wanted: Souad's home in Dammam
Souad, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Dammam.
🇸🇦 Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia493 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Dammam. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,750, 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone, Souad. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Girona
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
