When it rains, it pours—especially for one New Holland, PA family whose roof had been leaking for years. But thanks to the Joyland Grand Roof Giveaway, those rainy days are finally behind them.

A Family’s Roofing Struggle

Tim and his wife bought their home back in 2012. Like many homeowners, they’ve spent years balancing routine upkeep with unexpected repairs. But the biggest challenge was their roof.


Every heavy downpour meant one thing: leaks around the chimney. For eight years, the family had to keep a bucket on standby to catch the water before it damaged the second floor.

Tim’s old roof was a metal roof which was definitely showing its age.

“I would call someone if I wasn’t home to make sure there was a bucket up there,” Tim said. “You don’t want rain coming down through your ceiling.”

The Moment Everything Changed

Just months before the giveaway, Tim and his wife had started talking seriously about replacing the roof. They even had Joyland Roofing come out for an inspection.


Then came the life-changing message: they had won the Joyland Grand Giveaway.


“My reaction was, ‘Thank you, Jesus,’” Tim shared. “I put it in our family chat right away. Everyone was so excited for us.” For Tim’s family, winning wasn’t just about shingles and nails—it was about relief and gratitude.


“We were reminded again that God is our provider,” Tim said. “This gift has given us thankful hearts. Financially, it helps us take care of other things around the house.”
