Taghreed, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Riyadh.

I'm a single mother of three living in Riyadh. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,150, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers who can help over three weekday mornings.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. 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.

Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Love from Kathmandu
You're not alone, Taghreed. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Sending strength, Taghreed. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Riyadh.
Praying for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Rosario this morning. God bless
Rooting for you, Taghreed. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 10 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything
You're not alone. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Stockholm but we're thinking of you. Take care
wishing you the best, Taghreed. Hope you get there. Thinking of Riyadh.
Hope this works out for you. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Riyadh.
