Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Laura in Brescia
Laura, a disabled veteran, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Brescia.
🇮🇹 Brescia, Lombardy, Italy621 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Brescia. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,300, 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 a small crew who can help over a weekend.
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.

stay strong. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
So sorry you're going through this, Laura. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Best of luck, Laura. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
