My name is Bradley, and I’m raising funds to repair the roof on my home in Detroit. I’ve been doing everything I can to keep the house safe for myself, my dog Cookie, and my roommate Patrick. The roof has been a challenge for years—between deferred maintenance, the wear and tear of time, and a massive willow tree, it’s been a constant battle. I’ve managed to keep things together by tarping the roof, but every time it rains, water finds its way inside. With winter approaching, the high heat bills and risk of further damage are becoming urgent concerns.

I work in home repair and have tackled most of the fixes myself, but the roof is a bigger project than I can handle alone right now. Every time I make progress, something else comes up—sometimes it’s replacing damaged sheeting, sometimes it’s just keeping the tarps in place. Despite my best efforts, I’m only able to get halfway before another setback hits. Cookie and Patrick depend on this home being safe and dry, and I want to make sure we’re all protected from the elements.

Getting the roof fixed will mean security for all of us. It will lower our bills, prevent further damage, and finally allow me to focus on other goals instead of constant emergency repairs. Any support will go directly toward materials and professional help to get the job done right. Thank you for considering a donation to help keep our home safe.
