Two weekends of roof repair for Maëlle, a disabled veteran in Paris
Maëlle, a disabled veteran, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Paris.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France128 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Paris. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,750, 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you peace, Maëlle. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Salé so I could bring a meal
Take care, Maëlle. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My husband and I read this together!
hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
Sending strength. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in San Diego donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Paris.
