Help Sami patch the roof before the autumn rains
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Lille?
🇫🇷 Lille, Hauts-de-France, France977 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Lille. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,300, 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

You're not alone, Sami. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
