"Silver Dollar" metal roof coating (or other brands)

a roll of flashing

a bucket of tar

Anyone have any of these items?

Ron and Carolyn, East 5th Street, long time residents of Springfield, and a project home for Preservation SOS "Neighbor to Neighbor".

These folks need a new roof...unfortunately, that is outside of our current budget.  But what we can do is provide him with some items that would allow him to, at least, patch what he currently has.

We've called several agencies for them.  They have made some phone calls.  Everything is (understandably) over burdened.

Ron has been working hard on the house, dragging his oxygen behind him in a frantic effort to fix up this house for Carolyn before he dies:

So, if you have any of these materials lying around, please help him out.  PM me and lets make this Neighbor to Neighbor happen!

A metrojacksonville poster, who wishes to remain anonymous, made a very generous financial contribution to this cause today.  I look forward to shopping tomorrow at Home Depot and taking those supplies to Ron this weekend.

There are some really good people in this world.  This poster doesn't know me, nor does he know Ron.  He just wanted to help.

Much love from us!!!
