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?

Heliopolis
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
