The offers of free help are legion, like Mika, in Charente-Maritime, who opens her door “to anyone who needs to eat, take a shower, find accommodation, in short, anyone who needs help. There is also Gil, in Haute-Garonne, who volunteers to run errands, take care of animals or do DIY. Or Lamine, in Paris, which offers its services in several districts.
And as the schools are closed, we also see many announcements of tutoring or private lessons. Most are made by students who ask for a financial contribution, generally between 10 and 20 euros per hour.

The seller intends to draw a minimum of one thousand euros for both.
Finally, for those who fear a food shortage, a resident of La Réunion sells a “Pig for covid meat supply19. "However, he wants to warn that the animal has a hernia which, according to him," does not change the taste of the meat. "If the asking price is 250 euros, we do not know how much the pig weighs.
