Single Dad (Wilkins Roman) Restoration Rescue

Donation protected
Hi there!

We are a group of close friends that are coming together to raise money for our dear friend Wilkins. 

Wilkins is needing help to connect his house to the city sewer.

Let us tell you a little about our dear friend. Wilkins is first and foremost a faithful follower of Christ. He such an amazing dad, a hard worker, and the best kind of friend there is.

Wilkins is always so committed to his family, friends and church. 

He has been employed at the same establishment for over 15 years.  He has been an usher at our church for over 5 years. This man is a good man.  He has taken in his grandson and oldest daughter in their time of need.  On weekends you will likely find Wilkins in the bleachers cheering for his youngest daughter, being a proud dad watching her cheerlead.  He has recently moved his parents to the United States from Puerto Rico following the hurricane Maria disaster that occurred on the island.  Wilkins housed them, and helped them to get on their feet, and settled into their own place here Arkansas.  Wilkins goes above beyond to those in need or in crisis. That’s just who he is.

Recently Wilkins has had major plumbing problems at his house. 

Wilkins became a homeowner just a few years ago, and was so proud to finally have his own home for him and his girls.  But his home is an older home.  And for the past year, the plumbing has been failing. He currently has a septic tank, and is not connected to the city sewer.  The water from the toilets backs up into the showers.  When water drains from the showers it comes out from under the toilets.  When he and his daughter washes clothes it comes out from underneath the toilet EVERY TIME.  Wilkins has tried numerous things to solve the problem and called plumbers countless times, but they can never help because the plumbing needs to be connected to the city sewer to fix the problem.

The only thing is in order to do this, it will cost Wilkins $5000 to connect the house to the city sewer.  That is money unfortunately that he does not have.  It breaks his daughter's heart to watch her dad stress over this and not be able to do anything about it.  So we, as his closest friends are coming alongside him, you, and all those that will donate to come up with the $5000 to help our friend solve the problem.  That's what friends are for, that's what family does, and that's what good Samaritans do. We help in someone’s hour of need. 

So if you have been touched by this story and have the ability to help in a small or big capacity, we urge you to donate.  Please.
