Shirley Hayes’ Roof

 

Ms. Hayes lives in this small brick home near Shelby Drive with her adult daughter Shanita, who has developmental and physical disabilities.  Ms. Hayes herself has been unable to work for several years due to physical disabilities; so the family is trying to survive on two small Social Security disability checks.  The roof has already begun to leak over the bathroom, which was recently remodeled to accommodate Shanita’s needs.   With your help, we will tear off the old roof and install a brand new one which will keep the family dry for decades.
