Home Genius Exteriors Provides New Roof for Rivera Family

In a touching display of community spirit, Home Genius Exteriors (HGE) has dedicated its resources to support the Rivera family, a Glenside-area household enduring unimaginable hardships. With three of their children diagnosed with a rare genetic liver disease called Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC), the Riveras found themselves in dire need of a roof replacement shortly after recent summer storms caused further deterioration of their existing shelter.

Last week, Angela Rivera reached out to HGE, sharing their family's heart-wrenching story. Following a comprehensive inspection of their home, it became evident that their aging roof needed a complete overhaul. However, owing to the immense financial burden from medical expenses and student loans, the Riveras were unable to afford the required repairs. The family's plight moved the HGE team deeply.

Jeff Gunhus, the CEO of Home Genius Exteriors, expressed his empathy, saying, "As a father of five, I was particularly touched by the struggles faced by the Rivera family. Home Genius is committed to aiding families in our communities, and we hope that this gesture alleviates some of their difficulties."

As part of their CSR initiative, known as Home Genius Cares, HGE decided to donate a brand-new roof, which included both the materials and labor necessary for installation, thus turning the family's unfortunate situation into an uplifting story of generosity and community support. Upon arrival at the Rivera home, the installation crews got to work swiftly, transforming a space that had begun to feel unwelcoming into a safe haven.

Austin Killian, Co-founder and Executive Vice President of HGE, reinforced the significance of their endeavor, stating, "This is what community means—showing up when it matters most and asking how we can help. The Rivera family's resilience in the face of adversity inspires us all and reminds us of our core values."

Angela Rivera conveyed her heartfelt gratitude, sharing, “It’s hard to find the right words to express our appreciation. We had been searching for ways to cope with everything, and with this act of kindness, our overwhelming situation feels a little lighter. This has given us hope during one of our darkest times.”

The family's journey began in early 2022 when their three-year-old son was diagnosed with PFIC. Unfortunately, within a year, the two younger siblings—a five-month-old and another three-year-old—also received the same diagnosis, complicating the Riveras' already challenging life. In addition to navigating the complexities of raising three chronically ill children, they were confronted with another family member's cancer diagnosis, which added to their emotional strain.

Amid such trials, external support becomes invaluable. Home Genius Exteriors' gesture exemplifies the essence of community—the power of kindness and helping those in need. This dedication goes beyond mere philanthropy; it shows how important it is to uplift those around us during times of crisis.
