Two weekends of roof repair for Zainab, a disabled veteran in Medina

The roof at Zainab's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

Medina
I'm a disabled veteran living in Medina. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,900, 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 a weekend. 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

        Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Bilbao so I could bring a meal. Love from Thủ Đức.
