COLORADO SPRINGS â In our Rebound Colorado series, imagine a family having to work and study from home with a leaking roof over their heads!
Chris Hayes served in the army for 10 years and now needs a new roof for his family in the Springs. The roof has leaks and parts of it are in decay. In all, this would have cost the Hayes family $15,000, including insurance, a price tag they just couldn t afford.
