Roof4Roof One-for-One Mission | Rosalbina in Colombia
How Roof4Roof’s One-for-One Mission Helped Rosalbina in Colombia
Rosalbina needed a roof she could rely on. Living alone in an unfinished home in Colombia, she had no income to complete the work, and rain kept finding its way inside.
Through Roof4Roof’s One-for-One Mission, roofing and exterior renovation projects in New Jersey help support families facing challenges like hers. Her story shows how work on a local home or commercial property can contribute to practical help far beyond the jobsite.
Rosalbina’s Story and the Need for a Roof
Rosalbina had lived on her property for 15 years. When she became concerned that others might occupy her lot, she put up walls and doors and moved into an unfinished house. The building was not ready, but she felt she needed to be there to protect her property.
The roof leaked whenever it rained. Without the money to finish it, she was living in a home that could not keep the weather out.
After Wilson’s Charity and Roof4Roof’s local team visited Rosalbina, founder Chuck Anania and Roof4Roof stepped in to provide roofing assistance at no cost to her. Wilson shared the news in a few simple words:
“We’re here to give you a free roof.”
Rosalbina’s response was equally direct:
“Thanks to God and to Roof4Roof.”
For her, the help addressed a problem she had been unable to solve on her own. For our team, it was a concrete expression of the purpose behind the One-for-One Mission.
How the One-for-One Mission Connects New Jersey and Colombia
The idea behind the mission grew from Chuck Anania’s experience in Colombia, where he saw families living beneath damaged and leaking roofs. He recognized an opportunity to use his roofing experience to help people who could not afford the work their homes needed.
That commitment continues through our giving-back program, which has contributed more than $1.5 million to people in need. It connects the work we do for New Jersey property owners with charitable support locally and internationally.
Completed client projects help sustain this wider effort. Support from multiple projects can be combined to respond to needs identified with families and charitable partners, including roofing assistance and other essential help.
Rosalbina’s story is one example of what that support can mean for an individual household.
From Your Completed Project to Practical Support
Giving back is part of our project process. These five steps explain how the work on your property connects with our charitable mission:
- Complete and inspect the work. Our crews clean up the jobsite and carry out a final inspection of your exterior project.
- Document the finished project. A Roof4Roof ambassador visits to review the completed work and take photos of the results.
- Discuss the causes that matter to you. During the ambassador visit, we talk with you about charities and community needs. Support generated through client projects contributes to the wider giving-back effort.
- Connect with people and partners on the ground. Chuck works with organizations and families to understand where assistance can make a practical difference.
- Help a family meet a real need. That support can take the form of roofing assistance, essential supplies, or help responding to urgent circumstances.
In Rosalbina’s case, the need was clear: a roof for a home she could not afford to finish.
Roofing Services in New Jersey That Support the Mission
Every property has different needs. A homeowner planning a roof replacement and a business owner dealing with a recurring leak need advice that fits their building. Our work begins with understanding the roof’s condition and the source of the problem.
For homes and other properties with asphalt shingles, our shingle roof repair and replacement services address issues ranging from damaged shingles to roofs that need replacing. Historic homes, churches, and buildings with traditional roofing materials can benefit from our slate and tile roofing services.
Commercial buildings and properties with low-slope roofing require a different approach. Our flat roof repair and replacement services cover systems including EPDM, TPO, and modified bitumen. For suitable existing roofs, roof coating systems can offer a restoration option, depending on the condition of the roof.
Some problems call for a focused repair; others require more extensive work. Our roof inspections, maintenance, and emergency repair services help property owners understand those needs and address problems as they arise.
Whether your property is in Jersey City, Hoboken, Newark, or elsewhere in our Northern New Jersey service area, your project also helps sustain the mission that made Rosalbina’s roofing assistance possible.
