Two weekends of roof repair for Mustafa, a school janitor in Heliopolis
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Heliopolis?
馃嚜馃嚞 Cairo, Egypt148 views
I'm a school janitor living in Heliopolis. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $610, 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 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 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thinking of you and your family, Mustafa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
