Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Anwar in Dammam
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Dammam?

I'm a retired bus driver living in Dammam. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,400, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
Thank you so much.

Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Newcastle upon Tyne but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Dammam.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 7 people at work. Greetings from Santos.
Hang in there, Anwar. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
