A few years ago, Nadine woke up to water cascading onto her bed through her ceiling fan due to a leaky roof. Despite investing in a significant roof repair, she felt it was not fixed correctly.
Her respite was short-lived. Shingles in the same troublesome spot loosened, revealing that her entire roof, down to the decking, required a complete overhaul. Memories of her similar predicament years prior flooded back.
Struggling to fund another large roof project, Nadine found herself at a crossroads until discovering Habitat Capital Region’s Repair Program. We were able to replace her roof, reconstruct her front steps, and install a radon system, transforming her house into a safe place to live again.
The once dilapidated steps, now sturdy and safe, hold profound significance for Nadine, enabling her aging mother to visit her without hindrance.
Reflecting on the transformative repairs, Nadine expressed gratitude. “If it wasn’t for Habitat Capital Region, I never would have got my roof done. The repairs mean everything for my future because I have a very sound house now. I’m so thankful knowing that things are going to be okay.”
With renewed security and stability, Nadine cherishes her home more than ever. She is embracing a future where worries are replaced by the comforting assurance that she is truly home.
