Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Layla in Cairo
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Cairo?
๐ช๐ฌ Cairo, Cairo, Egypt688 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Cairo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $500, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Augusta.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
