Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Mahmoud in Giza
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Giza?
๐ช๐ฌ Giza, Giza, Egypt504 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Giza. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $770, 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 two Saturdays.
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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending strength, Mahmoud. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Dundee.
Thinking of you, Mahmoud. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
