Roofing help wanted: Tuğba's home in Gaziantep
The roof at Tuğba's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇹🇷 Gaziantep, Türkiye632 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Gaziantep. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $460, 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending love, Tuğba. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
