Devoure Family

The Desouvre family had the home inspection and paid over $300.00 for it. The inspection passed with everything. They moved in the beginning of this year and then the rain came and the water came in from many places. The fact that the house needed a new roof badly was never discussed and did not show up on any report. They have tried all ways to find out how this could happen and have reached many dead ends.

They found out about Rebuilding Together a national nonprofit in which volunteers all over the country help homeowners in need. RT has contacted and received a great response from National Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association. There are roofing companies that have stepped up and are ready to help this family but need to share in the expenses.

The homeowners have raised funds in the amount of $1,800.oo and RT received donations from companies and individuals. The HOA has received many calls about the blue tarp and as you can see in the photos none of us would want this in our neighborhoods.

The part that alarms me is that they have a 3 year old and there mold issues in the house. The new roof will stop the mold from growing and would not do any more damage to the structure and interior of the home. The water comes from the ceiling fans and lights so they can't be used until the roof is fixed. The bids have come in from $6,500.00 labor
only , if we could get supplies donated to $9,500.00 to $12,000.00.

This husband and wife both work and are very talented and professional. They have not wanted to ask of our help but they really need it. I feel that they need a chance to live in this very great neighborhood and live safely for the sake of their 3 year old .

What we are asking from Rebuilding Together that if you could find any sources to be able to help it would be much appreciated. A donation , a donation of supplies for the roofing materials , time and skills for labor.

Thank you for your time and a have to send a special thanks to Bob McNab from Graboski Roofing and Dave from Sky high roofing. They have stepped up to the plate and made some great offerings to help this family.
