I'm a home-care aide living in Poitiers. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,000, 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Poitiers

Sending strength, Claire. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Thanks for sharing this, Claire. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
