Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Basma in Medina
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Medina?
🇸🇦 Madinah, Saudi Arabia263 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Medina. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,200, 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 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

sending good thoughts, Basma. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Leipzig!
you're not alone, Basma. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Blessings.
Shared this with my family. Thinking of Medina.
Best of luck, Basma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Praying for you, Basma. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Wishing you peace, Basma. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Hope it all works out, Basma. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Jerusalem
You're not alone, Basma. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Riyadh
