Yasir, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Shubra.
🇪🇬 Cairo, Egypt1,271 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Shubra. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $630, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over one long 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Shubra.
So sorry you're going through this, Yasir. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Good luck, Yasir. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
