Rhode Island - June 2024

This trip was pretty special as this was for a widow with five kids who lost her husband to brain cancer. Without her husband who was the main source of income, finishing the house is hard to do. She plans to use the money from selling the house to move back to Texas with her parents so they can help raise the kids. Through Eight Days of Hope, a small group of leaders volunteered to come and love on this family. It took us (Ryan, Levi, Collin, and I (Sarah)) two days to get to get to Rhode Island. At the beginning there was only two rooms fully completed- the master bedroom and main bathroom. Throughout the week we hung and mudded all the drywall, put up wood for the ceiling, electrical, cabinets, back splash in kitchen, some flooring, and a bit of plumbing. We were able to help the widow by moving her timeline up by a year! It was a blessing to pour into this family that had gone through such a heavy loss.
