Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Maria in Parma
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Parma?
🇮🇹 Emilia-Romagna, Italy1,237 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Parma. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,250, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone, Maria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Good luck, Maria. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.
Sending strength, Maria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Rooting for you, Maria. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't give up.
Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Warsaw.
