Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Samira in 6th of October City
The roof at Samira's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a single mother of three living in 6th of October City. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $620, 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.
Thank you so much.

I hope things turn around soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of 6th of October City!
Thinking of you and your family, Samira. Looking forward to the next update. After 27 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Johannesburg
Rooting for you, Samira. Shared this with my family. All the best!
Best of luck, Samira. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
Good luck, Samira. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Samira. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

Sending strength, Samira. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of 6th of October City

wishing you peace. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care.
Good luck, Samira. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Stellenbosch.
