I'm a night-shift nurse living in Freiburg. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,650, 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 4-6 people 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 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 36 people at work. All the best.
Best of luck, Jamila. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
You're not alone, Jamila. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Kediri donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Freiburg
Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Love from Thessaloniki.
Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Freiburg.
Rooting for you, Jamila. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Timișoara.
