Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Jesse in Breda
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Breda?
🇳🇱 North Brabant, Netherlands845 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Breda. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $5,250, 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 three or four volunteers 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.
Glad we found this place.

you're not alone, Jesse. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Jakarta but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Good luck, Jesse. Shared this with my family. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Breda.
so sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Sandton but we're thinking of you. Love from Sandton
hang in there, Jesse. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
you're not alone. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.

This could happen to any of us. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Zaria.
Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Breda

Sending good thoughts, Jesse. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
Sending good thoughts, Jesse. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Jesse. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Nashik so I could bring a meal.
