Volunteers built a wheelchair ramp for a low-income homeowner in need of home repairs.

Warm – that is how I feel about your organization. The name sure does fit! You all made me feel so warm. When I thought the home was too far gone, that’s when they started performing miracles and made my house feel like a home again.

Barbara,
a WARM homeowner

The floor has collapsed in the center of my home. I got an estimate for repairs, and it was over $10,000 which is my annual income. I have no savings, no access to credit, and cannot afford the cost of repairs. These repairs will give me use of my home, my safety, and my independence back. My home is only 864 square feet, but it's the only thing I own.

This program is good for people that have worked all their life, but after retiring or losing a loved one must make so many changes because they don’t have the money they used to have.
