A New Roof for an American Hero


Testimonial: "I wish to thank R & R For Vets and Santa Fe Habitat for Humanity for their collaboration in providing and coordinating a solution to my severely damaged roof resulting in water seeping into the house. This situation was becoming severe health for me. I now have A DRY HOME – A SAFE HOME. I have a brand-new roof. And, because of the volunteers from Wells Fargo, repairs have been made to the ceilings. All of you have made a remarkable difference in the quality of my life. This vet thanks you from the bottom of his heart." Edward J.

 Our primary focus is on the health and wellbeing of our veterans, or their surviving spouses. There are veterans or their surviving spouses in the Santa Fe, NM Community who do not have the financial resources to make the necessary repairs to their home promptly, the result often being that they live in an unhealthy or unsafe environment. R & R for Vets Inc bring forth awareness, to the Santa Fe community and surrounding areas, that there are local veterans in need.

A Safe Deck for an American Hero

Another project completed for a vet in need! Deck safety is a real problem. Wood rots over time when over exposed to moisture. This leads to safety issues. Falls can occur. Deck/porch repairs are among the repairs addressed by R & R For Vets Inc.

A Repaired Deck for an American Hero

Over 7,000 veterans are living in Santa Fe County that own homes. Many have disabilities and don't have the funds for emergency repairs.

TESTIMONIAL - Extensive Deck Repair

  

"Thank you so much for the assistance of your organization in having the repairs made to my deck so that I have A SAFE HOME. You have brought life-changing assistance to me and my home through RR&R Veterans. Seeing the tireless efforts of RR&R to find and approve a competent contractor to complete the work (Carlos Garcia at Solo Construction) has been personally rewarding. It has been an uplifting experience. For me, R&R has been a model organization in treating me – and I am certain all vets – with honor and dignity. I thank you more than I can adequately express."

ABOUT US

About Our Founder

Ken Dettelbach, a two-tour Vietnam Veteran, supported veteran causes for over 40 years. He recognized a need not addressed for living veterans or their surviving spouses. Therefore, during 2017 Ken created R & R For Vets Inc to improve veteran's quality of life. It's Ken's way of saying "Thank you for your Service" by giving back to our American heroes because he came back.

 March 21, 2020 - R & R for Vets, was awarded the opportunity to be included along with 24 other selected nonprofit organizations, to honor volunteers who contribute to making Santa Fe a unique community.  

 Santa Fe is a city where volunteers make an enormous difference. The truth is, the City government is very small compared to the countless hours, devotion, and dollars that volunteers contribute to making Santa Fe the special place it is. Every day, Santa Fe’s volunteers give back to our community
