Two weekends of roof repair for Mathilde, a single mother of three in Poitiers
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Poitiers?
🇫🇷 Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France447 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Poitiers. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,750, 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 anyone handy 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 hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you and your family, Mathilde. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
