Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Romain in Paris
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Paris?
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France404 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Paris. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,850, 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 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.
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Thinking of Paris.
Sending love, Romain. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Ottawa.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Patras.
