Two weekends of roof repair for Noam, a home-care aide in Haifa
The roof at Noam's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇮🇱 Haifa, Haifa, Israel675 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Haifa. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,700, 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 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Stay strong, Noam. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Haifa.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Good luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Keep going, Noam. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Hải Phòng.
Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Haifa.
