Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Ursula in Dortmund

Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Dortmund?

Dortmund
I'm a disabled veteran living in Dortmund. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,000, 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 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

    reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 16 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
