Help Ozzie Campbell Get a New Roof

The Roof Gallery is raising funds for Ozzie Campbell

The Roof Gallery is 501(c)3 organization dedicated to educating, supporting and providing resources for all roofing needs. We would like to get Mrs. Campbell a full roof replacement and ease the burden of this unfortunate situation. Lets come together and help Mrs. Campbell.

When it rains or snows, Ozzie Campbell is unable to sleep in her bed. She places buckets there, as well as in other rooms to catch the water leaking from her ceiling.

“You can see the hole itself up in the ceiling. It just pulls down. And then the middle room is the same way,” said Campbell.

Her roof has needed repairs and for her 85th birthday, family members chipped in money to help her pay for them. And on November 14, a roofing company just happened to approach Campbell at her home, let her know they were doing work in the area, and offered to take on the project.

“They said, we see that you have a problem with your roof and we'd be willing to come in and do it. Let us go up and look,” recalled Vee Jones-Hurt, one of Campbell’s daughters. “She couldn't live here with the roof like it was.”

Campbell paid SM Masonry & Construction $5,000. Workers deconstructed parts of her roof, discarded bricks and cement in her yard, put up a tarp, then abandoned the job.

“I thought they were fixing my roof, and they weren’t. They just took my money and left and didn’t come back, and this is the only place I can stay,” said Campbell.

SM Masonry & Construction and Hugh Doyle, the representative listed on the signed agreement, are nowhere to be found.
