Two weekends of roof repair for Manon, a single mother of three in Paris
Manon, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Paris.
🇫🇷 Île-de-France, France409 views
I'm a single mother of three 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 $2,200, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people who can help over three weekday mornings.
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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Rooting for you, Manon. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Dhaka.
Hang in there, Manon. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Paris.
Take care, Manon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless
Thinking of you, Manon. I hope things turn around soon.
Hope things get better soon, Manon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best!
Stay strong, Manon. Your post was clear and honest.

Best of luck, Manon. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Paris.
sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Chicago

Stay strong, Manon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
