Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Zeynep in Ankara
The roof at Zeynep's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇹🇷 Ankara, Türkiye576 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Ankara. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $710, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Ankara
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Riverside but we're thinking of you
So sorry you're going through this, Zeynep. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
