Two weekends of roof repair for Sami, a retired bus driver in Heliopolis
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Heliopolis?
🇪🇬 Cairo, Egypt777 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Heliopolis. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $470, 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 anyone handy 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

hang in there, Sami. I hope things turn around soon. After 19 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
