Two weekends of roof repair for Ioannis, a single mother of three in Athens
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Athens?
🇬🇷 Attica, Greece582 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Athens. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,700, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.

Sending love, Ioannis. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Athens.
Stay strong, Ioannis. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Take care
Sending love, Ioannis. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
sending strength, Ioannis. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Riyadh but we're thinking of you
Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Saket.

Hope it all works out, Ioannis. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
