Roofing help wanted: Philippe's home in Marseille
Philippe, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Marseille.

I'm a retired bus driver living in Marseille. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,750, 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 4-6 people 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 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Marseille
hope it all works out, Philippe. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
You're not alone, Philippe. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 26 people at work. Blessings.
