Two weekends of roof repair for Mahmoud, a disabled veteran in Marrakesh

Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Marrakesh?

Marrakesh
I'm a disabled veteran living in Marrakesh. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $600, 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 4-6 people who can help over three weekday mornings. 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
