🇹🇷 Istanbul, Türkiye659 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Istanbul. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $960, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. 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.
Glad we found this place.

Praying for you, Cengiz. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Cengiz. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
