I Support Homeowners in Need by Working on Rebuilding Seattle
Written by faithAs a Junior League of Seattle Sustainer, I’m proud to be part of National Rebuilding Day, where more than 70 volunteers dedicated a Saturday to rehabilitate the home of Tamara and Lou LeCroy, a couple living in the Skyway neighborhood of South Seattle. The pictures tell the story of what we did in 10 hours working in teams.
Tons of yard waste to be removed
Many wheel barrows and trips to the dumpster
Getting prepped for paint
After nine hours, two full dumpsters, lots of sore muscles and tired volunteers, the yard and home are returned to the owners. With volunteer support from the Junior League of Seattle and others, Rebuilding Seattle repairs and/or rebuilds homes at no cost to low-income homeowners, particularly those who are elderly, disabled or families with children.
We found the front yard and favorite plants
Fresh paint and weeding transport the home
What a day! and what a happy, grateful couple. I’m so pleased to work with all the volunteers to make such a tremendous difference for Tamara and Lou. Thanks to all who supported our efforts. The team was amazing.
(I’m pleased to report that Mallory Paint (Jim Mallory) donated paint.)
