I'm a home-care aide living in Cairo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $600, 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 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.

This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Galle.
Praying for you, Walid. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.

Wishing you the best. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Khon Kaen donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
