Roofing help wanted: Alice's home in Poitiers
Alice, a school janitor, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Poitiers.
🇫🇷 Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France596 views
I'm a school janitor living in Poitiers. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $5,250, 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 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 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.

Thanks for sharing this, Alice. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Eldoret this morning. All the best.
Hang in there, Alice. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
good luck, Alice. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Sacramento donated after I showed her your page.
Thinking of you, Alice. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. God bless.
Take care, Alice. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. It's not much but it's yours
Wishing you the best, Alice. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Poitiers.
