Helping A Vietnam Vet with home repairs

The Vietnam War ran from 1955 to 1975. The people who served during this time are now all senior citizens. I know someone who could use help with home repairs,  not just money to pay for the work but trusted people to do this work, like roofing, heating and air, projects that he cannot do themselves. I found a group in lake county but they are only in lake county and I am trying help someone in LaSalle county. The lake county group has a couple volunteers offing to help but they need funds. We have some funds coming from a local Church but I want to help fund this too since I contacted them. The family that I have in mind has not had hot water in 2 years. Can you imagine that? I want to fix this but I cannot do it alone. 100% of whatever I raise will go to this family I am helping and any left over funds will go to a vet in need of home repairs too. They helped us and now it's time to help them. Any $ amount helps.
