Help Charalambos patch the roof before the autumn rains

The roof at Charalambos's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

Athens
I'm a disabled veteran living in Athens. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,400, 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 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. I hope life is good to you.

    This is what community support looks like. They didn't just offer generic advice; they provided personalized help tailored to my specific situation.

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

      Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Saint-Denis this morning. Take care!

        Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Athens.

        • Blessing Fatima Igwe

          Good luck, Charalambos. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.

          • Andrew P. Marquez

            Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
