Two weekends of roof repair for Mohammed, a widowed grandmother in Jeddah
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Jeddah?
🇸🇦 Makkah, Saudi Arabia204 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Jeddah. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,700, 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 three or four volunteers who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

keep going, Mohammed. This could happen to any of us. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
You're not alone, Mohammed. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Mohammed. I hope things turn around soon.
Rooting for you, Mohammed. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
