Hi, my name is Ron. I am a veteran and have helped my community as a firefighter/medic for 20 years. After retiring due to a medical condition, I have missed helping people. During my travels, I have seen the decay and condition of grave markers, especially those of our forgotten veterans. For that, I started a small business here in Roanoke to help families show respect and honor to their loved ones. I travel around Roanoke to restore and refurbish monuments and gravestones. As people age, families move out of the area or just can't physically do what needs to be done. For that, I offer a low-cost solution.

In this GoFundMe, I'm asking for donations to restore a veteran's forgotten final resting place. For every $100 donated, which is deeply discounted for the service I offer, I will travel to a gravesite, clean the area surrounding it, and wash and recondition the grave marker.

After every service, I leave a flower and an American flag, letting everyone know this veteran is remembered, valued, and loved even in death.

Pictures before and after will be placed on memorialrestorationsofroanoke.com, Facebook, and Instagram so you can see the direct change YOU helped make for these American heroes.

Please help me help this underserved and forgotten community.

Ron
