Roofing help wanted: Joyce's home in Montréal
Joyce, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Montréal.
🇨🇦 Quebec, Canada185 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Montréal. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,250, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending good thoughts. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Newcastle upon Tyne so I could bring a meal. Take care.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Quebec. I'll ask around and let you know!
Hang in there, Joyce. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Thinking of you and your family, Joyce. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Take care.
