Hi, I’m Mark Rickett—and I’m proud to say I’ve been sober for a year now.
For a long time, I was caught in addiction. It nearly cost me everything. But in the past year, I’ve turned my life around—through faith, hard work, and a serious commitment to change.
In November, I started my own roofing company. I put in the effort, got some tools together, and began doing honest work. But when winter came, the jobs stopped—and it wiped me out financially.
Now spring is here, and I’m more motivated than ever to get back on my feet, but I’m lacking the funding and work vehicle I need to take jobs and grow.
This isn’t a handout. It’s a second chance to build something real.
I’m asking for help to get the basic things I need to get my business going again: a work truck or van, the right tools, business insurance, and enough to get through the next few weeks while I line up jobs.
What your donation will help cover:
Reliable work truck or van
Roofing tools & equipment
Business license & insurance
Marketing & outreach
Total Goal: $20000
I’ve already come a long way, and I’m not stopping here. I want to keep building—not just roofs, but a better life for me, my family, and maybe even offer work to others who need a second chance.
Whether you can donate or just share this, thank you for believing in me. Every little bit helps, and I’
ll put it all to good use.
