Roofing help wanted: Aurélie's home in Montpellier
Aurélie, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Montpellier.
🇫🇷 Occitanie, France233 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Montpellier. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,400, 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 4-6 people 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Rooting for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Montpellier.

Hope things get better soon, Aurélie. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
Hang in there, Aurélie. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My husband and I read this together
