St. Johns County Army veteran Paul Bass, 90, and his wife, Dolores, were living under a damaged roof in Flagler Estates without the means to fix it themselves.
But with the help of local volunteers and businesses, the Bass family won t have to worry about paying for it.
The Veterans Council of St. Johns County, a nonprofit, heard about Bass situation and connected him with help. Matthew Reiter, who owns Reiter Roofing with his wife, Brittani, is donating labor to fix the roof. 1st Coast Metal Roofing Supply has donated materials, Reiter said. We want to give back, Matthew Reiter said.
(Tribune News Service) The cross-country journey wasn t easy for Dave Parramore. He set off on his bicycle from San Diego, Calif., on March 1, planning to make it back to his hometown in St. Augustine Beach on his bicycle alone. The goal: to raise awareness of military veterans affected by COVID-19 and raise money for the nonprofit Wounded Warrior Project. Fierce storms in West Texas forced him to take a train from El Paso to Austin for safety reasons, and he got flat tires in New Mexico, among other challenges. But he also was able to connect with veterans and friends along the way.
