GRAND LEDGE, Mich. – This week’s Good Neighbor is a local builder with a history of channeling kindness and helping others.
His latest idea is to give away a new home. However, to do that, he needs your help in finding the right person.
Korey Hatter is the owner of 42 North Construction in Grand Ledge. But it’s his work in the community that sets him apart.
Missy Trudell, who nominated Korey as a Good Neighbor, says he’s a good guy.
“Korey is one of those people that in every room he shows up, he tries to help. That’s just who he is. You feel that moment that you meet him.
Right now, Korey is looking for someone who needs a new home but may not have the means to do so. His plan is to give them that new roof for free.
“Any single mom or struggling mom out there, or maybe a veteran in need of a new home. Really, I’m looking for anyone who is struggling or can use this and can’t afford it right now. That’s what they need. We have the opportunity that we can deliver it. ”
This is not the first time Korey has given away a roof. A few years ago, he came across a local woman who had passed away but desperately needed a new home. Korey says that experience changed his life.
“When it was completed, she wrote us a letter. That letter alone affected me. No one needs to see it. That’s on my side. And I mean, that did it right there. Just her thank you. She was able to go out one last time and have a trip with her friends that she wouldn’t be able to do otherwise because she was trying to finish her housework. She knew she didn’t have much time left. She is trying to finish her house so she can leave it to her family.”
Korey said giving away a home is just the thing he can do to pass the kindness forward.
“The way prices go up in this business, you know, the roofing alone is incredible. And you know, realize how hard it is for most people to get the money to put a roof on their house. But it is also one of the most important things for your home. ”
If you know someone who needs a new home, Korey says he’d love to hear from you.
“Write us a note about why you think the person deserves it, [and] what the struggle was. Do they have any major problems going on?
