Our first new project this year was assisting one of the families in our community with their dire living situation. A mother with 5 children who has experienced many extreme housing issues in the past, including a home catching on fire and another home being destroyed by an F4 tornado, has been living in a house that had serious damage and needed major repairs. Together with our partners from Unity Baptist Church, we were able to make quick  repairs to improve their living conditions. Gutting and renovating the bathroom, deep cleaning the kitchen, repairing floors and bedroom makeovers, in just a few days the teams were able to work together and drastically make a difference. Having a safe and sanitary place to live has a direct impact on people’s mental and emotional health which effects their ability to strive in their environment. These special projects can have a huge impact and help to improve quality of life.
