Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Koen in Utrecht
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Utrecht?
🇳🇱 Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands153 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Utrecht. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,000, 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 anyone handy 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Keep going, Koen. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Utrecht
Good luck, Koen. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Nsukka this morning.
So sorry you're going through this, Koen. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Grenoble donated after I showed her your page.
Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Naples
