Neighbor in Need

Having a functioning kitchen with a working stove is necessary in any house, and with your help we can get it to those who need it most.

For over 20 years, Neighbor in Need has provided critical home repairs for low-income seniors in Atlanta—transforming lives and preserving community.
We hire licensed professionals, guarantee quality work, and never charge a dime.

Ms. Mary's son Christopher reached out to see if we could help his mom with an accessible shower since she can no longer safely step into her bathtub. We told him we'd be happy to! We sent out Armando with A.H. Roofing and construction who has done this for us dozens of times before and got her a new walk in shower with a seat and hand hold bars for support!

A failing roof. No heat in the winter. Electrical hazards.

These are just some of the emergency repairs our elderly neighbors face—many on fixed incomes, with nowhere else to turn.

You can be the difference between a neighbor staying in their home or losing it.

Neighbor in Need steps in fast, free of charge, and with care. But we need monthly donors to keep up with the growing need. Donate today and become a monthly donor: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=3DC9ZETE47NDG&ssrt=1709695016283

One of our awesome FON Squad volunteers came by to visit Ms. Ramona in Kirkwood. When he went to open her storm door, the whole door fell off in his hand. He was glad it happened when he opened the door instead of when she was trying to get out in her wheelchair! Armando with AH Roofing & Construction LLC is measuring the doors so that he can get a pricing on replacing the front and side doors. Both of them have a great deal of rot and they need to be completely replaced. Ms. Ramona actually lives in one of the few homes built by Habitat for Humanity here in Kirkwood.

We’ve helped out our disabled neighbor Phil on Kirkwood Rd many times with small little tasks. When he found out we’d be willing to give him an accessible shower, he was in disbelief! Armando with A.H. Roofing and Construction, ordered this walk in shower with a seat, demoed the old bath tub and wall, installed the new shower and installed hold bars along with new wood-look linoleum flooring.

"I am a long time Kirkwood resident with a sever spinal disability and fixed income. Getting in and out of my bath tub to shower was getting increasingly difficult. I contacted Justin Schaeffer at Neighbor in need and within a short time he employed Armando Hernandez who did a complete bathroom remodel. Now I have a safe, handicapped accessible bathroom and love it. Bottom line, I could not afford to live here without Neighbor In Need. Thanks Justin!" -Phil

No one should be forced to live without hot water in their home just because they’ve grown older. Neighbor in Need is 100% volunteer-run and provides free, quality home repairs to elderly neighbors so they can safely age in place.

Thanks to our local partners and donors like you, we’re making a real difference—one home at a time.
