## The KC 20-Home Repair Challenge## 🛠️ Big Impact, Small Fixes: Let’s Repair 20 KC Homes Together Every day in Greater Kansas City, elderly neighbors, disabled residents, and struggling families live with minor home hazards they simply cannot afford to fix. They aren't asking for a brand-new house—they just need a loose front-porch handrail secured, a leaking bathroom faucet repaired, or a front door that actually locks. When you live on a fixed income, a $250 handyman bill isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s an impossibility. Left ignored, these small issues turn into major safety hazards or costly structural damage. We have the professional maintenance skills to fix these problems, but the people who need these repairs the most are the ones least able to afford them. ------------------------------ ## 🎯 Our Mission: The 20-Home Challenge We are launching ERS Property Services with a different kind of business model: one where community care is baked into the foundation. Our mission this fall is to use our skills to completely fund and execute critical minor repairs for 20 local homes over the next 90 days. We aren't just asking for handouts; we are deploying a professional maintenance team directly into the Kansas City neighborhoods that need it most. ------------------------------ ## 📦 How You Can Back the Challenge Today Because we are using Give InKind, you can see exactly where your support goes. You can join the movement in three distinct ways: * 1. Buy Supplies from our Wishlist: Check out our product registry below. You can directly purchase the physical materials we need—like heavy-duty bathroom grab bars, safety equipment, or drywall patch kits—and they will ship straight to our toolkits. * 2. Sponsor the Repair Fund: Use our Connected Fundraising links (Venmo/PayPal) to deposit cash directly into the ERS Community Repair Fund. These funds cover raw lumber, plumbing parts, commercial liability insurance, and the fuel needed to drive our service truck across the metro. * 3. Join the Care Calendar: Look at our upcoming project days. Sign up to drop off water bottles, bring lunch to the team on a job site, or volunteer to help rake leaves and clean up yard debris while we handle the technical maintenance work inside. ------------------------------ This isn't a one-time charity project that will disappear when the registry is cleared. This Give InKind campaign is the kickoff spark for our permanent community arm. As ERS Property Services grows, a defined portion of all revenue from our paying commercial contracts and property management clients will permanently flow into the Community Repair Fund. By helping us stock our inventory and hit the ground running this October, you aren't just fixing a single faucet—you are building a self-sustaining local engine that will keep fixing Kansas City homes for years to come. We protect our homeowners' privacy while posting 100% transparent Before/After updates right here on this page. Kansas City, let's fix 20 homes.
