Thomas, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Saint-Denis.
🇫🇷 Île-de-France, France416 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Saint-Denis. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,950, 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 a small crew 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 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.

Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too
