The group of volunteers that worked last weekend are very familiar with helping people, but this project was a bit more “hands-on” than usual. 10 students from UF’s Counselor Education program volunteered Saturday to help make life a little brighter for two area residents. All worked hard to replace damaged drywall, fix a plumbing issue, organize the house and remove dangerous limbs from the roof. The homeowner requires continual oxygen and could not have done these improvements on her own. The counselors did a phenomenal job with repairs and even got the chance to enjoy a cake provided as a “thanks” from the homeowner.
Putting a temporary patch on the roof to cover holes created by tree limbs.
Finishing up some yardwork. Limbs around the house were causing damage to the siding and roof.
Volunteers replaced drywall in the laundry room to help the AC system work more efficiently.
All smiles on the site!
The plumbing was our biggest challenge, but volunteers worked hard to fix a non-functioning kitchen sink.
Just a small break in the day to rest and stay hydrated. Don't worry though- these were two hard working volunteers!
