Help Marlene patch the roof before the monsoon
Marlene, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Freiburg.

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Freiburg. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen 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 corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew 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 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Wishing you peace, Marlene. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Freiburg.
Praying for you, Marlene. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hang in there. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Manukau.
Thinking of you, Marlene. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'll check back for the next update. God bless
Thinking of you and your family, Marlene. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Berlin donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Berlin.
