Hello Nicole,

Bless you and your team for creating such a useful and helpful website. I live in Yavapai County/Prescott Valley, AZ. My parents retired here 30 years ago and built a home. I moved here to take care of my wonderful dad. I eventually had to stop working as it was just too much to do both. My dad has since passed and then I started having major health problems. I don't know anyone in this area, I have no sense of community or friends to reach out to. I live on just social security and no other income and I live alone. At almost 70 and facing neurosurgery on my back, I'm just not up to dealing with some repairs that need to be addressed and I don't have any way to pay for it. I don't know if it's just old paint that is discolored or if there may be an issue with the roof. I've noticed a lot of people in the neighborhood have been dealing with their roofs. Any thoughts or suggestions would be so very appreciated. I am going to reach out to the aging organization, as well as call 211 this week.
