Roofing help wanted: Maud's home in Rotterdam
The roof at Maud's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇳🇱 Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands761 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Rotterdam. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,200, 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 one long weekend.
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.
Thank you so much.

hope things get better soon, Maud. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Rawalpindi donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Taguig but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Rotterdam.
Sending good thoughts, Maud. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Onitsha this morning. All the best.
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Rotterdam.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Dhaka.
Hope things get better soon, Maud. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Rotterdam.
Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Freiburg donated after I showed her your page!
