A Kansas City man is getting a brand new roof thanks to the generosity of neighbors and one roofing company. KMBC 9 found out how it all began with a neighborhood scare, and a conversation.It was a chilly Thursday in Kansas City's Blue Hills neighborhood, but hearts were warm.“I think he feels super blessed and lucky,” said neighbor Lauren Reece.She lives just down the street from Cedrick Walker, where peeling and pounding starting at 8 a.m. Thursday ended with a new roof. Walker didn’t have to pay a penny.“Going through the planning phase is one thing, but actually seeing it happen is another,” said Reece, “so I think he's excited.”It all started with a neighborhood scare. A nearby house burned down sparking a conversation about home insurance. Reece found out no one would insure Walker’s home because he needed a new roof.Unable to work due to an injury, there was no way he could pay for one, so Reece started a GoFundMe, raising more than $5,000. She also got in touch with Shamrock Roofing, who agreed to cover the rest of the cost, about $10,000.“We like to step in where we can help our community,” said Sarah Terry with Shamrock Roofing. “And so we told them, ‘hey, use the GoFundMe for the chimney. We'll cover the rest and let's get you a new roof so you can get insured.’”Reece is humbled by the support that will protect Walker’s home, and the people in it, for years to come. She hopes it shows the power of working together to build a better future.“To kind of do something that makes a big impact not only for him, but his family, is just huge,” she said. “It's amazing what you can do if you come together as a community and or neighborhood.”
