Great progress has been made on Ms. Gloria’s home in Arapahoe, NC this week thanks to the Esperanza Covenant Church out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. We completed the flooring in her new bedroom, closet, living room and kitchen.
Ms. Gloria is wheelchair-bound, so as part of her rebuild we have reconfigured her home with wider doors, a large closet she can move in and out of, and we will be installing a tile shower for easy access. I still remember having a conversation with her about the 24” door to her old bathroom and asking her how she got to the shower. All she said was ‘it was difficult’.
We hope to have her back in her home by late July/early August just shy of the 3 year anniversary of Hurricane Florence that did devastation to so many homes in this area of Eastern NC. Rusty Cready/Operations Director FCDR NC
