Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Boulogne-Billancourt?

I'm a home-care aide living in Boulogne-Billancourt. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,050, 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Epe
Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Toledo so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Gilles. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
