Two weekends of roof repair for Aisha, a disabled veteran in Shubra
The roof at Aisha's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a disabled veteran living in Shubra. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $690, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

hope it all works out, Aisha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Milan.
