Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Giovanni in Rome
Giovanni, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Rome.
🇮🇹 Rome, Lazio, Italy553 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Rome. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,700, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew 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 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you the best, Giovanni. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together
