Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Leonardo in Bergamo
Leonardo, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Bergamo.
🇮🇹 Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy699 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Bergamo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,700, 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 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you peace. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Bergamo.

Take care, Leonardo. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
