I'm a disabled veteran living in Riyadh. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,500, 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 a small crew 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 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Riyadh.

Best of luck, Hassan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Riyadh
Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from New York
Rooting for you, Hassan. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal.

Sending good thoughts, Hassan. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Riyadh!
hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Stay strong, Hassan. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
hang in there, Hassan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Cebu City but we're thinking of you. God bless
