Help Quentin patch the roof before the next storm
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Poitiers?
🇫🇷 Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France862 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Poitiers. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,550, 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 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope things get better soon, Quentin. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
so sorry you're going through this, Quentin. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Poitiers.
Thanks for sharing this, Quentin. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
Take care. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Moscow this morning. Take care
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Mysuru
