Marcia’s Story

Marcia is an 82-year-old widow living alone in a small 12’ x 24’ home that has suffered significant damage over time, including from the recent hurricane. After the loss of her husband and years of compounding structural issues, many of the repairs needed for the home have simply been beyond what she could manage on her own.

Today, the home is in a critical state.

• The roof is currently a plastic tarp with no pitch, allowing water to leak inside.
• Plastic sheeting acts as the ceiling, with insulation falling down into the living space.
• Cracked exterior walls allow water into the home, causing soft spots in the flooring.
• The stove is nonfunctional.
• There is no interior bathroom after a tree destroyed the rear portion of the home.
• A septic system exists but is not connected to any fixtures.
• The home does not have a functioning kitchen sink.

These conditions make daily life extremely difficult and create a particularly unsafe situation during the winter months.

Yet Marcia’s Spirit Is Remarkable

Despite these challenges, Marcia is full of joy, creativity, and hope.

She is an accomplished artist who loves sharing her work with visitors. In fact, she has even created a 3D model of her dream renovation, envisioning a restored home that includes:

• A rebuilt rear addition
• A proper bathroom
• Additional living space
• A gallery wall where she can display her artwork

Her resilience and warmth deeply moved our team, and we would love to see her dream for a safe and welcoming home become a reality.

What Our Team Is Doing

Everything our team does is rooted in our desire to live out the love of Jesus in tangible ways. As a Christian construction company, we believe the Gospel is not only something we speak about. It is something we demonstrate through the way we serve and care for others.

After meeting Marcia and seeing the conditions firsthand, our team was honored to step in.

We have already committed to rebuilding her roof and insulating the home so she can be protected during the winter months, and work has already begun.

As the project has unfolded, it has become clear that restoring the home fully will require more than what our team can accomplish alone. Completing the project will include adding a bathroom, reconnecting the septic system, repairing the kitchen, and rebuilding the damaged portion of the house.

Rather than simply doing what we can and stopping there, we wanted to invite our community to be part of the story.

How You Can Help

Together, we can help restore Marcia’s home into a safe and functional place where she can live comfortably and continue sharing her creativity and joy with those around her.

Your support will help fund:

• Structural repairs
• A safe and permanent roof
• Bathroom installation and septic connection
• Kitchen restoration
• Flooring and interior repairs
• Rebuilding the rear addition

We believe this is the kind of work a community is meant to do together. Every gift helps move the project forward and allows us to continue serving Marcia with care and dignity.
