For most of my life, I have worked with my hands.
For nearly four decades, I have worked in construction, renovation, property maintenance, flooring, electrical repairs, plumbing, carpentry, and countless other areas of home repair. Those years have given me skills that I now want to use for something bigger than simply earning a living.
I want to devote my time and energy to helping people who have necessary home repairs but simply cannot afford to have the work done.
There are elderly homeowners living with rotten porches because they cannot afford to replace them.
There are widows who have repairs around their homes that their husbands once handled.
There are veterans, disabled individuals, struggling families, churches, and people living on limited incomes who may have leaking roofs, unsafe steps, damaged flooring, electrical problems, plumbing issues, rotten wood, broken doors, or other problems that continue getting worse because professional repairs are simply beyond their budget.
These are the people I want to help.
My wife Robin and I are entering a different chapter of our lives. Instead of spending the years ahead chasing another business or trying to accumulate more things, we want to use what we have been given to serve others.
We travel with our truck, fifth wheel, tools, and equipment, giving us the ability to go where help is needed.
My goal is simple:
If someone genuinely needs a repair to make their home safer or more livable and they do not have the financial ability to get it done, I want to be able to help.
Sometimes that might mean replacing rotten porch boards or repairing unsafe steps.
Sometimes it could mean fixing a leaking sink, repairing damaged flooring, replacing a door, rebuilding a section of fence, repairing a deck, correcting an electrical problem, repairing water damage, or completing another project that has become overwhelming for someone.
I can donate my knowledge and labor, but there are still expenses involved in doing this work.
That is why we are starting this GiveSendGo.
Money raised will help with things such as building materials, fuel to travel to people who need assistance, maintenance on our truck and equipment, tools and supplies, campground or travel expenses when necessary, and other costs associated with completing these projects.
This is not about building another construction company.
It is about building a ministry of service.
I have learned that our lives can change very quickly. The things we spend years building can disappear, but the difference we make in another person’s life can remain long after we are gone.
I believe the experience and abilities I have accumulated over the past 38 years were given to me for a reason. I want to spend this season of my life putting those abilities to work for people who need them the most.
We hope eventually to travel throughout the country helping wherever God opens a door, particularly serving elderly homeowners, widows, veterans, churches, families in difficult circumstances, and others who simply need someone willing to show up and help.
We are not promising that we can fix every home or solve every problem.
But when we can help, we want to say yes.
Your contribution doesn’t simply help purchase lumber, screws, plumbing parts, electrical supplies, or fuel.
It helps repair a porch so an elderly person can safely walk into their home.
It helps fix a floor someone has been afraid they might fall through.
It helps a widow take care of something she has worried about for months.
It helps a family make their home safer for their children.
And sometimes it simply reminds someone who is struggling that they have not been forgotten.
If you feel led to support this mission, we would be incredibly grateful.
If you cannot give financially, sharing this fundraiser is another tremendous way to help.
And most importantly, we ask for your prayers—for wisdom, protection while traveling, opportunities to serve, and the ability to recognize the people God places in our path.
A servant’s heart is best.
Our hope is that with the support of others who believe in this mission, Robin and I can devote more and more of our time to traveling, serving, repairing, and helping people stay safely in the homes they love.
Thank you for reading our story.
Thank you for praying for us.
Thank you for sharing.
And thank you for helping us turn nearly four decades of experience into something that can bless others.
