Two weekends of roof repair for Layla, a widowed grandmother in Heliopolis
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Heliopolis?
๐ช๐ฌ Cairo, Egypt667 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Heliopolis. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $480, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people 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 work boots and a hat. 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

You're not alone, Layla. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
