Help Merel patch the roof before winter
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Rotterdam?

I'm a home-care aide living in Rotterdam. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,150, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers who can help over three weekday mornings.
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.
Glad we found this place.

So sorry you're going through this, Merel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Zaporizhzhia!
thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
wishing you the best, Merel. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Chennai but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Good luck, Merel. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. All the best.
