Two weekends of roof repair for Helene, a widowed grandmother in Berlin

Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Berlin?

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Berlin. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,700, 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 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • Good luck, Helene. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.

    • Sending love, Helene. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Berlin
