Thank you to my volunteers today! David DuRard (my dad), Stacey Rice and Sandy Tillery. Everyone worked very hard today and we got so much done! Front porch cleaned, all trash gathered, yard completely redone (even made him a fire pit) and new light bulbs in every room. Before and after pics posted. The back yard was a HUGE transformation. It’s definitely a volunteer project to be proud of and I’m thankful for the help.

Hello everyone, if you were interested in volunteering with me for the double amputee veteran in Perry, I have set the day for April 8th at 9:00am. Please bring some yard tools if you have any. I can bring a w**d eater. If you have contractor bags, chainsaw, clippers, pruners, or the ability to haul some stuff off, that would be great. Please let me know if you are going to come out on the 8th. I will take pictures and post on Facebook to several groups about what we have done.

DOUBLE AMPUTEE VETERAN IN NEED: Walter Thomas of Perry called us out to his place. He’s in need of a backyard cleanup. Some small items will need to be hauled off, bushes cut, wood cut up for the fireplace and w**d eating. If you can help, let me know. I’ll set up a day to meet over there. Habitat is building him the ramp to access the back more easily. So the cleanup is important. Thanks everyone!

DOUBLE AMPUTEE VETERAN IN NEED: Walter Thomas needs our help. I would like to get some volunteers to clean up his backyard which would include w**d eating, trimming bushes and cutting wood to stack for fire. Walter does not have legs but has a motorized wheelchair and would like to access the back more easily. He also ran out of cut wood to heat the home at night so I would like to get it cut and stacked. Habitat will be building a ramp for him to get in the backyard. There is also some debris to be thrown away if anyone could bring some contractor bags and take a small load to the dump, that would be great. Please let me know if you want to help and maybe we can get a group out there. I can plan a day on a Saturday morning.

Friends, I am looking for some fire wood to take to Ozzie Hubbard and her mother Ida since winter will be upon us shortly. They heat their farm house out in Elko with 2 stone fireplaces. We filled their shed last winter for $200 and I’d love to get them through another winter not freezing to death. If you can buy some wood, I’ll send you the address for delivery as Ozzie has no vehicle. If you’d like to donate to a wood fund with me, we can go buy the wood and deliver together if you like. Please send me a message if you’re willing to assist. Thanks!

Got a call today from Albert Brown Jr and his wife over on Utah Avenue. They are in their 70's and the floor in the tub is cracked. They cannot bathe because water pours out underneath. Does anyone here know how to fix that? I have seen videos online and they sell stuff at Lowes to do it but if anyone has ever done it before or thinks they can, please send me a message. This is kind of an urgent one here 🙏
