Help Claire patch the roof before the rainy season
The roof at Claire's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a school janitor living in Saint-Denis. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,150, 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 anyone handy 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.

Keep going, Claire. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Thanks for sharing this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!
So sorry you're going through this, Claire. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Rawalpindi so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
