Joost, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Haarlem.
🇳🇱 Haarlem, North Holland, Netherlands843 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Haarlem. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,400, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

A colleague of mine might know someone for this in North Holland. I'll ask around and let you know!
Rooting for you, Joost. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
