ABOUT THE FINALISTJohn M.

Military Service
United States Navy

John Allen MurphyJohn M. is a 20-year U.S. Navy Veteran Submariner. He has always been a hardworking man and dedicated provider for his family. He has a daughter just starting college and even though he works full time, he finds time to drop her off and pick her up from college since he can't afford to get her a vehicle because his money goes toward keeping her in school and maintaining his home. Recently John’s home has suffered damage from tremendous storms, including damage by Hurricane Harvey. When John looked to the insurance company for assistance, they denied his repair claim. More recently, Hurricane Nicholas hit John’s home, causing the existing roof leak to worsen. He has tried to patch and repair as best as he could, but he suffers from vertigo, so climbing becomes very difficult and dangerous. Although he is very busy, John has a hard time saying "no" when someone asks for his help. He is the neighbor you will see helping others clean up and pick up fences after a hurricane passes, while he has his own damage to take care of, because he is a kind and caring human being. He has a difficult time asking others for help, because he thinks others have it worse than him. He is a great handyman, but age and sickness are not on his side. Please help John repair his roof without putting himself in danger and consider casting your vote for him.
