Billy, a blind resident of New Kensington, PA, is facing a housing crisis after a construction company began demolishing a dilapidated house adjacent to his home. Because the structures were connected by a small hallway, the demolition left a significant hole in Billy’s residence. Despite the damage, neither the city nor the bank that owns the neighboring property has taken responsibility for the repairs.
As a person with a disability living on a fixed income, Billy is unable to manage the heavy financial burden of these repairs on his own. The situation has left him vulnerable, worried about his safety, and unsure how to move forward. The money raised will go toward home repairs and legal fees to help Billy restore his home and seek accountability.
Bill’s family has owned this home for over 70 years and has always been a kind neighbor. Now, he needs the support of the community to help him through this difficult time. We are looking for any help or guidance you can provide to ensure Billy's home is made safe and that those responsible are held accountable. Thank you for your time and any assistance you can offer.
