Two weekends of roof repair for Brigitte, a widowed grandmother in Paris
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Paris?
🇫🇷 Île-de-France, France368 views
I'm a widowed grandmother 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 $3,200, 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 three or four volunteers 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.
Thank you so much.

Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
