The Flint Journal has a profile of Audrey Dismond, a great example of someone trying to make a difference in Flint:
"My company is called Roof Right Construction. I’m a licensed builder and can build a whole house, but we focus on roofing. Roof Right started in 2004. I am blessed with some terrific girls. I have about six working for me now.
"All of my girls come from unfortunate circumstances. They need a helping hand more than others might. I help them learn to roof to code and how to appreciate themselves. They have to love their bodies as well as their minds. They were not put here to smoke a crack pipe or be a punching bag. I call them my girls for a reason. They’re my family. I come from a wonderful family. I believe whole-heartedly in family."
