Two weekends of roof repair for Lina, a school janitor in Cologne
Lina, a school janitor, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Cologne.

I'm a school janitor living in Cologne. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,550, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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 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 hope life is good to you.

Hope things get better soon, Lina. Shared this with my family. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Hồ Chí Minh City.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Lina. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Madrid.
Take care. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
