Help Marcel patch the roof before the autumn rains
Marcel, a disabled veteran, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Duisburg.

I'm a disabled veteran living in Duisburg. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,650, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people who can help over a 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Stay strong, Marcel. I hope things turn around soon.
good luck. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Jalandhar donated after I showed her your page
Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Thinking of Duisburg
Praying for you, Marcel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Marcel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
