Two weekends of roof repair for Sami, a retired bus driver in Jeddah
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Jeddah?
🇸🇦 Makkah, Saudi Arabia593 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Jeddah. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom 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 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 three weekday mornings.
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 hope life is good to you.

Wishing you peace, Sami. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Love from Los Angeles.
thanks for sharing this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'll check back for the next update.
So sorry you're going through this, Sami. Shared this with my family. After 8 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Sending love, Sami. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Hope it all works out, Sami. Hope you get there. Take care!
Hope things get better soon, Sami. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Best of luck, Sami. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Jessore.
Take care. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Rome
I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Rotterdam but we're thinking of you. Take care
Looking forward to the next update. After 7 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
