Roofing help wanted: Alice's home in Bordeaux
Alice, a disabled veteran, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Bordeaux.

I'm a disabled veteran living in Bordeaux. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,750, 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 13 people at work. Love from Kharkiv.
Thinking of you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Addis Ababa.
