Two weekends of roof repair for Rasha, a widowed grandmother in Zagazig
The roof at Rasha's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Zagazig. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $890, 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 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.

Thanks for sharing this, Rasha. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
take care, Rasha. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
hope things get better soon, Rasha. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
wishing you peace, Rasha. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
