Continuing to help makes all the difference in the world

As you know, one of my jobs is mold remediation. There was a house that Kendall and I assessed in August for mold. It needed a lot of work. The roof had to be repaired before Hands On could get to work on the mold issue. That finally happened in October. We should finish the mold removal work this Saturday, appropriately on Make A Difference Day. I was talking with the homeowner the other day. She has changed a lot since August. She said, with tears in her eyes, "Y'all have changed my life. I feel like getting up in the morning now. Before you started, I couldn't see the difference, one day to the next, so some days I just didn't get out of bed. Now, I can see myself getting home again. I just don't know how to thank you for what you've done."

It's still going to take many months before her gutted house is a home again. But the progress that we have made this month has made all the difference in the world to her.
