The couple have two children aged 3 and 5 but Ludovic is also the father of two 16-year-old twins from a first union. The couple are not rolling on gold and have called on “not too expensive” artisans to carry out the necessary renovations. Craftsmen who planted them in the middle of the site with in addition to the defects. “We had to redo everything so we decided to do everything ourselves a year ago but, even if my husband is an electrician, we don’t know too much about building. We use tutorials on Youtube. It took some time. delay, confides Laetitia who had to leave the house that the couple rented until then. Between the rent and the work, it became financially complicated “. And the family had no other choice than to settle temporarily in a mobile home while waiting to finish the work.

But there are things. that I do not know how to do so I had the idea of launching this appeal “.
6 years ago, she participated in the show “Tous ensemble”
Eric is looking for “people in the trade” such as drywallers, jointers, plumbers or even tilers. And the momentum of solidarity worked. “I received a lot of calls and I even have the Coprover company which offered me a donation of material, explains the Good Samaritan. But there are still some trades missing.”
If Eric says he is “touched” by this mobilization which he did not expect, what about Laetitia who is still struggling to achieve and who even says “embarrassed”. “It’s not my habit to ask for help. But it’s wonderful what happens to us,” says this 40-year-old mother who remembers that 6 years ago to the day, so pregnant from her second child, she had helped a family in Mazamet in need like her in the context of the TF1 program “Tous ensemble”. Like what do good around you and God will return it to you “.
