Texas Contractors Team up to Finish Iraq Vet's Home: 'It's Been a Blessing'

A group of East Texas contractors came together to help an Iraq War veteran and his family construct their home after the family says a builder took hundreds of thousands of dollars from them but never completed the project, KYTXChris Cormican served as a combat engineer in the U.S. Army and spent more than a year in Ramadi, Iraq. While speaking with KYTX, the veteran recounted his involvement in several IED explosions, one of them killing a friend of his.

The “builder abandoned the job in July,” and what had been completed was left exposed to the elements, a GoFundMe page established for the coupleA Redline Roofing employee informed the company’s owners of the Cormicans’ situation, and they immediately wanted to help. Project manager Dan Mize put together a team of other contractors who wanted to pitch in and complete the project.“We had somebody that was willing to put a roof on our house free of charge,” Rosemary told KYTX.

A YouTube video posted to the GoFundMe page this month shows significant progress, including a roof, windows, and siding.It’s really been a blessing to see this house progress. We kinda just stood out here and took it in, reflecting on how many times we thought we were going to have to sell it, couldn’t afford to do this, and just how big God has been and how many wonderful hearts has really come to our rescue.

🙏🏻😇❤️🇺🇸

Hail the conquering hero. Thank you Texas contractors for doing the right thing .

So the contractors were given 'hundreds of thousands' before even coming close to finishing the job? Terrible decision but kudos to the other contractors🤝
