These Boots are Made for Roofing..

What difference can a pair of boots make?

For this man, a pair of boots for roofing has meant a roof over his head.  After living for 3 months at a local shelter, *David found his own bachelor suite and job at a roofing company.  Unfortunately, after years of trying to get back on his feet, David doesn’t have the money required to get proper boots.  And getting a new place means more expenses and a tight budget.

David is determined not to lose his place and not to end up back on the street or a shelter.  So he has been  wearing his old boots…  Without steel toes, and falling apart.   After a referral to BOB’s Supported Employment Program we were able to get his feet into a solid pair of steel toes.

Congratulations David, on all your hard work!

*Not his real name.

    People like David are very hard-working and persevere. You'll be able to replace those old boots in time, David. All those sacrifices will be worth it in the end. By the way, congratulations on your new bachelor suite and getting a job at a roofing company! =)
