Two weekends of roof repair for Nihal, a single mother of three in Üsküdar
The roof at Nihal's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a single mother of three living in Üsküdar. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,100, 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 three weekday mornings.
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.
Thank you so much.

you're not alone, Nihal. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Üsküdar.
Good luck, Nihal. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
