Buzzards Bay Area Habitat for Humanity has recently joined hands with those in the community to form a group of builders, subcontractors and donors, all volunteering their time, skills and resources to help a local mother. After the birth of her second child, the mother contracted an aggressive infection that ultimately led to bilateral below-the-knee amputations along with other serious complications. After months of rehabilitation, this mother remains determined to continue with therapy to improve her mobility in hopes of one day being able to keep up with her two young and active children. Habitat for Humanity has stepped in to help renovate the family’s home and will be providing a large accessible bathroom for the mother.
Habitat’s “Brush With Kindness” program allows Habitat to serve local families who are in need of repairs such as weatherization (interior storm windows), painting, fixing up an existing porch, adding a ramp, repairing a roof, or making a home accessible again. For families in need of critical home repairs, Habitat’s Brush With Kindness program may be the solution. To sponsor or nominate a family, please call the Habitat office at 508-758-4517.
Habitat for Humanity homes and Brush With Kindness projects are fully supported by donations. Habitat’s financial resources are limited and they rely upon gifts of land, discounted properties, donations and discounted materials to assure the affordability of the houses that are built and the remodel projects that are completed.
Habitat’s mission is to bring people together to build homes, communities and hope. Please consider partnering with Habitat to help make this project and others a reality for local families in need of our help. To make a donation, please call Habitat’s office at 508-758-4517.
