Amanda has faced extraordinary challenges with remarkable strength. In 2019, she was diagnosed with atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS), a rare blood disease that caused kidney failure. She now requires lifelong immunotherapy infusions and, as her health declined, lost her job and nearly lost her home to foreclosure.

While focusing on her treatment, Amanda has been unable to afford the repairs her home desperately needs. Her aging roof is in need of replacement, but the cost is simply beyond her financial means.

A new roof would provide Amanda with safety, stability, and peace of mind as she continues her lifelong medical journey. This nomination is an opportunity for the community to support someone who has shown incredible resilience through overwhelming circumstances.

Andrew B. is working hard to restore and maintain a home that has stood for more than 100 years. After purchasing the property as-is a few years ago, he has taken on the ongoing challenge of repairing and preserving the historic fixer-upper while balancing the significant costs that come with homeownership.

Like many homeowners, Andrew has had to prioritize repairs, but his aging roof has become one of the most urgent needs. Years of wear have left the roof in poor condition, including a hole in one corner that allows water to leak into the home during storms. Replacing the roof is a major expense that has been difficult to afford alongside the many other repairs the property requires.

A new roof would provide Andrew with the protection and peace of mind every homeowner deserves. It would help preserve his historic home, prevent further water damage, and allow him to focus on the many other improvements needed to keep the property safe and secure for years to come.

Arlene has spent her life dedicated to faith, family, and serving others. Alongside her husband Doug, she built a life centered on kindness, generosity, and community. Together, they raised their family, volunteered, stayed active in their church, and cherished time with their seven grandchildren.

After 56 years of marriage, Arlene lost her husband in 2025 following an unexpected accident. Doug was known for his ability to connect with everyone he met and left a lasting impact on his students, friends, and community. Arlene continues to carry on their shared legacy of compassion and service.

After years of Kansas weather, Arlene’s roof is now in need of replacement. While she has always taken pride in caring for her home, this repair has become a significant burden during this new chapter of her life.

A new roof would provide Arlene with security, comfort, and peace of mind. After a lifetime of giving to others, this would be a meaningful way for the community to give back to someone who has always put others first.

Bogart joined Aspen Contracting in 2025 after spending 20 years as a self-employed hard-surface flooring contractor. Starting over in a new career was not easy, especially as the breadwinner for his family and a devoted husband and father who also helps care for his wife when she is ill.

When a hailstorm struck in March, their home sustained significant damage. Their roof is more than 20 years old and now has leaks, large hail dents, and siding damage. Unfortunately, their insurance deductible is more than $8,000, making the repairs difficult to afford while the family is also managing substantial medical expenses.

Despite these challenges, Bogart continues to work tirelessly to provide for his family. He regularly works long days and weekends, always putting his family and customers first. He approaches everything with integrity and rarely asks for anything in return.

A new roof would be an incredible gift for Bogart and his family, easing a major financial burden and recognizing someone who spends every day working hard to take care of others.

Brian has dedicated years to caring for his parents in the property he owns, and now he is facing challenges of his own. He lives on a fixed income and has Medicare, with no family nearby to help him manage major home repairs.

His roof has needed replacement since a hailstorm several years ago, but he has not had the financial resources to make the necessary repairs. With his recent health challenges, the possibility of leaks, mold, and further damage to his home is especially concerning.

Brian wants to remain in the home he has cared for and continue aging in place. A new roof would provide the safety, protection, and peace of mind he needs while helping ensure he can stay in his home for years to come.

This nomination is an opportunity to give Brian the helping hand he needs to preserve his home and maintain his independence.

Brittany has faced incredible challenges with strength and resilience. Two years ago, she suffered a traumatic injury during a work event that resulted in a stroke, leaving her with lasting physical disabilities. Since then, her husband has become the family's sole provider while they continue raising their two young children.

Despite the hardships they have endured, Brittany and her family remain committed to serving others. They are actively involved in their church and regularly give their time to support those in need, always putting their faith and community first.

As they navigate the financial challenges of living on a single income, replacing their aging roof has become a burden that is difficult to manage. A new roof would provide their family with a safer, more secure home and one less worry during an already difficult season.

Carlie is a hardworking single mother raising her 11-year-old son, Evan, who has Level 2 autism. She works part-time as a dietitian at a hospital while doing everything she can to provide a safe and stable home for her son.

Following a recent storm, Carlie’s home sustained siding damage that she simply cannot afford to repair. She had her roof replaced by Aspen Contracting last year, but the cost of replacing the siding remains out of reach, especially after recently losing her mother.

Evan loves spending time outdoors, and having a safe, well-maintained home is especially important for their family. Despite working hard and caring for her son, Carlie is facing this repair on a limited income.

New siding would help protect their home, provide greater peace of mind, and give Carlie one less financial burden to carry during an already difficult time. This would be a meaningful opportunity to support a devoted mother and her son.

For more than 50 years, she has been a familiar and caring presence in the Florissant community. As a small business owner, she spent decades cutting hair for generations of local families—grandparents, parents, and their children.

Even as costs increased, she intentionally kept her prices affordable, starting at just $5.99 and reaching only $8.99 after 25 years. She believed families should never have to choose between looking their best and paying their bills. Through recessions, difficult times, and changing seasons, she worked long hours, treated people with kindness and fairness, and always tried to help those who were struggling.

Now 70 and retired, she is living on a very limited income. With the rising cost of everyday necessities, a major expense like replacing her roof is simply beyond what she and her family can afford.

After spending more than half a century serving others and asking for very little in return, a new roof would provide the safety, security, and peace of mind she deserves.

She spent a lifetime caring for her community. Now it’s her community’s opportunity to help care for her.

Katy has faced significant challenges and continues to persevere despite difficult circumstances. She is disabled and living on a fixed income, making it extremely difficult to improve her financial situation. After her ex-husband left her with damaged credit, Katy has had even fewer options when unexpected expenses arise.

The April 28th hailstorm caused major damage to her home, including her roof, gutters, and siding. Although she has insurance, Katy cannot afford the deductible needed to make the repairs. With her limited income, a roof replacement is simply beyond her reach.

Katy deserves the opportunity to have a safe, secure home without the financial burden of a major repair hanging over her. A new roof would provide her with much-needed protection and peace of mind during an already challenging chapter of her life.

Mimi has lived in her family’s home her entire life. Her father purchased the house in the 1930s after dreaming of owning it since he was a young paperboy. Mimi spent her life caring for her family and her home, including caring for her mother after her father passed away. She later worked as a CNA, dedicating much of her life to helping others. Today, Mimi works part-time as a floral arranger for her church and continues to call this longtime family home her own.

This property holds generations of memories. After spending so much of her life caring for the people around her, Mimi has remained committed to preserving the home her family built their life in. However, over the years, the property has deteriorated significantly, and Mimi does not have the financial resources to make the repairs it desperately needs.

New Siding would provide critical protection for Mimi and help restore the safety and security of the home she has called hers her entire life. It would allow Mimi to preserve her family’s home, protect a lifetime of memories, and continue living there for years to come. After a lifetime of caring for others, Mimi deserves a helping hand of her own.

At just 23 years old, Jada made the courageous decision to become a homeowner. Now 26, she has worked tirelessly to maintain her property on her own, embracing the responsibilities of homeownership while building a stable future through hard work and determination. Like many young homeowners, she has faced unexpected challenges along the way. Her roof has begun to leak, and without a second income or outside financial support, the cost of a replacement has become an overwhelming burden. Despite working hard, paying her bills, and carefully managing her finances, major home repairs remain out of reach.

Beyond caring for her own home, she is committed to giving back to her community through volunteer work. Even with the demands of homeownership, she continues to dedicate her time to helping others, reflecting her generous spirit and strong sense of responsibility. A new roof would provide more than just protection from the elements. It would give this young homeowner peace of mind, preserve the home she has worked so hard to build, and remind her that her perseverance and commitment to both her future and her community are valued and worth supporting.

This nominee is a genuinely kind and considerate coworker who consistently looks out for others, always wearing a smile and rarely complaining. He’s someone who truly embodies the spirit of positivity and generosity. Despite his great attitude, he's been struggling with an unfair insurance situation that has only offered to cover a portion of his much-needed roof replacement. He’s been through the process twice with little success, making it a challenging and frustrating experience. Despite these obstacles, he still recommended Aspen to others, showing his unwavering support and positive outlook. A new roof would be a well-deserved gesture for someone who consistently puts others first, even in the face of personal challenges.

Julie P. is in need of a new roof, but the cost of such a major home repair is simply not something she can fit into her normal budget. With everyday expenses already adding up, taking on the cost of a roof would create a significant financial burden.

Receiving a new roof through Covers 4 Others would give Julie much-needed peace of mind while allowing her to put those financial resources toward other important expenses. This opportunity would provide a meaningful helping hand and help ensure her home remains safe and protected.

Kathryn has taken great pride in maintaining her home, which was built in 1969. After a hailstorm damaged her property, she was able to replace her roof and gutters, but her insurance company denied coverage for the siding, determining that its condition was due to age and wear rather than storm damage.

The original wood siding has reached the end of its lifespan and is in need of replacement. Unfortunately, the cost of new siding is more than Kathryn can afford, leaving her with few options to protect and preserve her home.

New siding would provide Kathryn with lasting protection, improve the safety and appearance of her home, and relieve the financial burden of a repair that is beyond her means.

Lacey is a hardworking single mother raising two children and doing everything she can to provide them with a safe and stable home. As she works to make ends meet, the cost of major home repairs has become an overwhelming burden.

Lacey is in desperate need of a new roof, but her current homeowners insurance provides little help with the repairs. Despite these challenges, she continues working hard to care for her children and maintain their home.

A new roof would provide Lacey and her children with the safety, security, and peace of mind they deserve. This nomination is an opportunity to support a dedicated mother who continues to put her family first and simply needs a helping hand

I am nominating myself for a new roof. My name is LaMeeka. After the loss of my only child in 2020 due to a car accident, I relocated to a new residence roughly a year later; I purchased my 1st home! At the very beginning of my loss, my mom & my sister (a single stay at home mom) with her small children, uprooted their lives to move in with me to be by my side for support. However, within the past year, my mom's health has significantly declined whereas she is now no longer able to work & is now disabled with neuropathy & no longer able to walk. The change in our circumstances has definitely affected the household financially, especially since I am now primarily responsible for all of the bills & any household repairs that may arise.

I am working, but also living pay check to pay check to provide for my family. In addition to other household repairs that are needed, a new roof is definitely on that list. I am now trying my best to figure out how to fit that into my current budget. I've researched assistance & other resources online, yet nothing looks hopeful. After a tumultuous & tramatic past few years, any miracle of relief would help TREMENDOUSLY! I'm doing the best that I can with the current resources at hand to provide for my family, all while still grieving. Any assistance/support of any kind would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for all of your consideration.

Hail damage possibility

Wife passed away couple years ago, Is living on disability and has had two heart attacks last two years. It's a small roof but is in bad shaped, the house was my grand parents and would hate to see it slowly fall apart!

Mark and Judy have spent their lives working hard, helping others, and building a home they could enjoy in retirement. Aspen replaced their roof in 2021 while they were both still working, but since retiring, their financial situation has changed significantly.

In 2024, they reported a garage leak to their insurance company, but their claim was denied without an inspection. Their policy was then canceled, making it extremely difficult to find new coverage. Recently, a severe hailstorm with 4-inch hail caused significant damage to their roof and gutters. Their new insurance carries a $6,000 deductible, which they simply cannot afford.

Their home is paid off and is all they have, but both are retired and dealing with declining health. Despite their own challenges, Mark and Judy are known for being deeply caring and generous, always willing to help others whenever they can.

Now, they are the ones who need a helping hand. A new roof and gutters would provide Mark and Judy with security, peace of mind, and protection for the home they have worked so hard to maintain.

Mary is doing her best to rebuild her life after experiencing unimaginable loss. Living on a disability income, she has faced years of financial hardship while trying to maintain the home she and her late husband inherited from his parents.

After returning home in 2025 to work on repairing their marriage, tragedy struck when her husband unexpectedly passed away the following day. Since then, she has been left to manage the home and its growing repair needs on her own.

The aging roof, which dates back to when the home was built decades ago, has far exceeded its expected lifespan. Years of leaks have caused significant damage, including a large hole in the garage ceiling and water damage that has affected other rooms in the house. With limited income, replacing the roof has simply not been financially possible.

A new roof would provide more than protection from the elements—it would offer security, stability, and one less burden during an incredibly difficult chapter of her life. After enduring profound personal loss and ongoing financial challenges, this nomination is an opportunity for the community to help restore both her home and her peace of mind.

Mary Lu G. has spent her life serving others with compassion and dedication. As the chaplain for the American Legion Auxiliary Post 1019 in Aroma Park and an active member of the women's F Troop honor guard, she has devoted countless hours to supporting veterans and her community. She is also a proud mother of three and a loving grandmother to eight.

Now, Mary Lou is facing the greatest challenge of her life. After losing her job when her employer closed in 2025, she was later diagnosed with stage IV cervical cancer, which has spread to other parts of her body. Unable to work and facing mounting financial hardships, she is focused on her health while doing her best to make ends meet.

As she continues her fight against cancer, the condition of her home has become another source of stress. Her roof has needed replacement for some time, but the cost is beyond her reach during this difficult chapter. A new roof would provide Mary Lou with the safety, comfort, and peace of mind she deserves.

Melissa and her husband, James, were blessed with three children, Winter, Freya, and Miles. Freya was born in 2020 and was also born with Down syndrome. After several healthy and happy years, Freya was diagnosed with leukemia in 2024. The family faced her treatment head-on, putting many home projects, including replacing their aging roof, on hold while they focused on their daughter.

In 2025, the family received the wonderful news that Freya was in remission and transitioning to maintenance treatment. Sadly, on December 22, 2025, Freya passed away unexpectedly from complications related to a viral infection.

Now, Melissa and James are learning to navigate life without their daughter while continuing to honor her memory and give back to the organizations that supported their family.

A new roof would provide more than protection for their home. It would remove the financial stress of another major expense and allow the family to focus on healing and caring for their children. In memory of Freya, this gift would be a meaningful reminder of the love and support surrounding their family.

Michelle S. has dedicated her life to caring for others. As an Autism Specialist and full-time caregiver, Michelle supports her family while navigating unimaginable challenges. She is the sole provider for a household that includes three disabled family members: her husband, who is disabled due to a knee injury; her 20-year-old daughter, who is recovering from a severe traumatic brain injury after a head-on collision with a semi-truck; and her 11-year-old son, who has profound autism and requires 24-hour care.

Michelle’s historic property, built in the late 1800s and once serving as the town’s first parsonage, has endured years of harsh weather. After multiple severe hailstorms, including a recent storm with baseball-sized hail, the aging roof has begun showing signs of damage. Michelle has found shingles in the yard and is aware of leaks that occur during storms.

With limited resources and the inability to afford homeowners insurance due to her family’s circumstances, a new roof would provide Michelle and her family with the protection, safety, and peace of mind they deserve.

Rick and Mollie are local business owners who live with their children in a charming fixer-upper home on the north side of Springfield. They were in the process of renovating their 1900s property when a severe hailstorm struck in late April, causing significant roof damage and interior leaks.

What initially seemed like an opportunity to finally address their aging roof quickly became a financial hardship. Rick and Mollie discovered that they had been misled about the coverage available for both their home and commercial property, leaving them facing significant costs that their insurance would not fully cover.

As hardworking local business owners and parents, they have dedicated themselves to building a life for their family while investing in their community. Now, they are faced with the unexpected burden of repairing their home while continuing to manage their business.

A new roof would help protect their historic home from further damage and allow Rick and Mollie to continue moving forward with their family and business. This nomination would provide meaningful support to a family facing a difficult and unexpected setback.

Robby and Christy have devoted their lives to caring for their family and those around them. While raising their children and opening their hearts to several others they consider family, they have built a home centered on kindness, generosity, and serving their community. Christy, a stay-at-home mom with a master's degree in history, is known for always putting others before herself.

After their home sustained hail damage several years ago, they used their insurance settlement to hire a contractor to replace the roof. Unfortunately, the contractor took the money and never completed the work, leaving them without insurance coverage for the damage and unable to afford a replacement. Since then, the roof has continued to deteriorate, with active leaks causing damage throughout the home. After previously rebuilding the interior following a house fire, they are now watching that hard work be damaged by ongoing water intrusion.

Supporting a family on a single income has made replacing the roof financially impossible. A new roof would protect the home they have worked so hard to rebuild and provide peace of mind for a family that has spent years giving so much to others.

After losing her husband of 40 years in April 2024, this nominee faced another devastating change when she had to leave her job of 22 years and go on disability. She eventually lost her home and was forced to purchase a mobile home, hoping it would provide a fresh start.

Unfortunately, the mobile home is in desperate need of repairs. The roof has two large holes, with more missing shingles than intact ones, leaving the property vulnerable to further damage. She also needs new flooring but simply does not have the financial resources to make these repairs.

After losing her husband, her career, and her home, a new roof would provide much-needed stability and security. This nomination would give her the helping hand she needs to make her new home safe and provide some hope during an incredibly difficult chapter of her life.

Steve and his wife, Lisa, are both retired, and Steve is a military veteran who dedicated years to serving his country. Now in retirement, they are facing the financial challenge of maintaining their home after a recent storm caused significant damage.

Their insurance company which they switched to 1 year before the storm denied coverage for the full replacement of their siding and gutters due to the age of the property and a metal exclusion in their policy. They also hoped to replace their metal roof with shingles, but that request was denied as well.

With both homeowners retired, the cost of replacing these essential exterior components is more than they can comfortably afford. A new roof would provide Steve and his wife with greater protection, security, and peace of mind while helping them maintain the home they have worked hard for.

Im filling this nomination out for a good friend of mine who has worked so hard to rebuild this house after it was destroyed by fire. We finally were at the stage of getting ready to start insulating and drywall and then the tornado came through and destroyed the roof siding amd windows. Ted has always been a great friend to me and I hate to see him have to do this all out of pocket for a 2nd time. Insurance would'nt give a builders risk policy so now we are back to square one. Just wanted to say thank you for your organization for choosing someone to make their live a little easier by replacing the roof. Ted would'nt want me doing this for him but he's been such a great person to me and my family its the least I could do for him. He has been worrying about everyone else and not his own house bringing food coffee ect for everyone.

Tyler has dedicated his life to serving others. As a pastor and father of four children involved in the Blue Springs School District, he spends countless hours providing guidance, encouragement, and spiritual support to individuals and families in need. Whether helping those facing difficult seasons or investing in his own community, Tyler is known for putting others before himself.

Like many who serve in ministry, Tyler and his family have had to carefully manage their finances. While they faithfully meet the needs of others, major home repairs have become difficult to afford. Over the years, their roof has developed multiple leaks, leading to ongoing water damage and mold concerns that continue to worsen.

Despite these challenges, Tyler remains committed to serving his family, his congregation, and the community with compassion and generosity. His willingness to give so much of himself has made a lasting impact on the lives of many. A new roof would provide Tyler and his family with the safety, security, and peace of mind they deserve.
