Brest
I'm a single mother of three living in Brest. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,450, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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. Glad we found this place.

        sending good thoughts, Jean. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.

          Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Quezon City donated after I showed her your page

            Wishing you the best, Jean. Shared this with my family. After 28 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless

              Good luck, Jean. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
