TEAM HEARTBEAT!

We have a courageous decorated, wounded Marine who served in the Infantry who has need of community love and support. His story detailing this need is below regarding his house and the main problem, mold in the roof insulation.

"Once we opened up the walls and floor, with myself being a building inspector, it obviously wasn't built very well. So that's been the story of our home, we purchased it knowing that it wasn't perfect but it was the best option we had for the price. But we were told at our home inspection when we purchased, that the roof was in good condition and the master bathroom was built rather well. So we figured we were at least good on that end and we could address the other pending issues in our own time. Since the bombshell with the roof leaking and mold in the insulation. We managed a replacement for the roof, but the insulation is still original and riddled with mold, I desperately desire to have it replaced but I simply can't afford it right now and don't have the equipment to do it myself. At least the roof is good so that's a good part of the problem, but there is definitely still a ton of moldy insulation in my attic, so gross. There is nothing I would want more than to take my entire house down to studs and completely start over. Since it's an older home, its been added to and altered over the years, creating little weak spots here and there, so a clean slate would be very beneficial but expensive.

So yeah, my house is an ongoing project for me and my wife, which isn't a bad thing necessarily, but the projects I have are health related and significantly degrade the quality of life for my family."

Because of the mold in the roof insulation, this family has suffered a lot of physical ailments leading to the ER a few times. This Marine is extremely humble and would rather take care of everything himself and not be a burden on the community. What I told him, is the community, all of us, owe this Marine more than we can ever repay so let us help if we can.

WHAT WE NEED:

Volunteers knowledgeable about insulation in the roof repair to remove the old insulation and replace with new. The house is in Lake Stevens, Snohomish County and is 1800 square feet.    

OR if you do not have roofing skills but can donate so we can assist finding a company who can do this please click here on our website to donate, either online or by mail with a check. Please note on your check or online that this is for the Marine and 100% of the donations for him will go for him and his wonderful family (wife and 2 young kids).

Thank you all and I am hoping for a huge response!

Gratefully,

Janice
