About this recording + accessible text

The original phone recording is 2 minutes, 41 seconds. English captions are available in the player. Miguel explains the program and reads the letter offering Barbara a new roof, including materials and labor, at no cost. The complete written letter appears below.

For Barbara,
help came
home.

A new roof. A wider doorway. A little more peace at home.

Barbara Thompson’s home became the first Project Restoration Hope roof project. AE Roofing & Construction provided her new roof at no cost.

The work reached beyond the roof, too. The team widened a bathroom doorway so Barbara could move in and out more safely.

For Miguel and Ashley, that is the heart of this program: meet a real need, offer practical help, and remind a family that they are seen and cared for.

A letter to Barbara.
A promise from Miguel and Ashley.

Dear Mrs. Barbara Thompson,

We want you to know how honored we are to be able to bless you and your family through Project: Restoration Hope.

My wife, Ashley, and I created this program through AE Roofing & Construction because we believe that when God blesses us, He also gives us opportunities to be a blessing to others.

Through Project: Restoration Hope, your home has been selected to receive a new roof at no cost to you. AE Roofing & Construction will be providing the materials and labor needed to complete the project.

Our hope is that this is about more than just a roof.

We understand that life can bring seasons that are difficult, unexpected, and sometimes overwhelming. Our heart behind this program is simply to help families who may not otherwise have a way to take care of a major need like this and, more importantly, to remind them that they are seen, they are cared for, and they are not walking through their situation alone.

Continue reading the letter

We believe God places people in each other’s lives for a reason, and we are grateful that He has given our family and our company the opportunity to serve yours.

Our prayer is that this roof provides protection for your home, but also that Project: Restoration Hope brings a little encouragement, peace, and hope to your family during this season.

There is nothing you need to repay and nothing expected in return. We simply ask that you receive this gift knowing that it is being given with love and with a sincere desire to serve.

We are grateful for the opportunity to be a small part of your story, and we pray God continues to bless your home and your family in the days ahead.

With love and gratitude,
Miguel & Ashley Alaniz
