Roofing help wanted: Michel's home in Paris

The roof at Michel's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

Paris
I'm a single mother of three living in Paris. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,600, 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 4-6 people who can help over two Saturdays. Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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. Glad we found this place.

    Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 5 people at work. God bless

      Wishing you peace, Michel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.

              Thinking of you, Michel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Dhaka
