In My Home and in My Spirit:
Cheryl’s Story Homeowner
“Nobody wants to tell the world that they’re a poor person,” said Cheryl. However, she added, “When the hand of God reaches out and brings the people to you, how can you not tell your story?” Meet Cheryl, a deeply spiritual woman. She lives in a house built in 1890 that belonged to her family years ago, which she purchased through Section 8 housing. “I came over here to start again, and that’s what I did. It was a way out of poverty. I wanted my own home.” The house, however, was in bad shape. Living on just under $800 per month with an injured back, Cheryl was financially and physically unable to rebuild it alone. Cheryl’s son Chuck helped her work on the home piece by piece. He walked through the house with her saying, “Mom, this is so neat; and you’re going to make it great.”

“I would’ve had to leave my home. ...How do I stay? How do I go?” Then, on July 16, 2012, Chuck died in an automobile accident. “When

visited Cheryl’s home to assess her needs ahead of the build day. Cheryl made only a few modest requests, including putting down tiles she had purchased to cover a bare subfloor, a bathroom sink so she could have running water in the bathroom, and a railing on the front porch. The house captain kept asking, “What else do you want?” and Cheryl kept sharing her hopes. Perhaps installing the two ceiling fans she had bought, she added, since she had no air conditioning. Maybe they could even repaint the outside.
The house captain thanked her and left, not making her any promises, but noting Cheryl’s dreams for her home. “I think I’m gonna get a bathroom sink. They’re gonna put down my $50 tiles; and they’re maybe going to attach the railing on my porch,” Cheryl thought to herself. “And if I’m really, really lucky, they’re going to paint the outside of my house.” When build day came on October 3, 2013, the team of staff and volunteers showed up with a truck full of materials. When Cheryl

looked outside for the first time that morning, what she saw “was like a different dimension. To me, it was like a beehive, and there were worker bees, and I was like the queen. You knew that there was change upon the horizon. I could feel it.” A care coordinator stayed with Cheryl to ensure she had all she needed throughout the day. Volunteers crossed item after item off of Cheryl’s wish list – including installing doors on her bedroom and closet – as they worked. As she offered her thanks and appreciation
to each of them, they in turn thanked her for the privilege of helping her. “They just loved me, and they allowed the process of healing in my home and in my spirit, and loved me unconditionally. “The build day was one of the most incredible, spiritual experiences of my life.” Although the build day ended that evening, the process of rebuilding Cheryl’s home didn’t end until the following spring with the installation of new siding and gutters. “Just the siding alone changed my utility bill this last year. All these things made a subtle difference.” The transformation of Cheryl’s home and spirit are evident. “They have allowed me to remain in my home,” she said. “When I get up from my bed every morning, instead of seeing everything broken, when I wake up, I say thank you for this sanctuary. It’s a home now. It’s my home. “Before they came and did all this stuff for me, I was in all this helplessness and despair. Physically and financially, I couldn’t do it. These people literally came in and saved my life.”

Executive Director of the Year:
Carrie’s Story Affiliate Leader
Fifteen years ago, Carrie Grip was working with a tech company in Sacramento when the company collaborated with Rebuilding Together Sacramento to complete community service projects in the area. Carrie was asked to manage a rebuild day, and from then on, she was hooked. When Carrie heard that the all-volunteer affiliate was seeking to hire their first staff member, an executive director, she went for it. Carrie joined Rebuilding Together Sacramento in 1999 as its first paid staff member, and has led the affiliate ever since. Carrie has led great growth at Rebuilding Together Sacramento. Her accomplishments were recognized at Rebuilding Together’s 2013 national conference where she was named the 2013 Executive Director of the Year. “The phrase ‘can’t do’ is not in her vocabulary,” wrote Carrie’s

My Purpose in Life:
Terry’s Story Affiliate Staff Member
About nine years ago, contractor Terry Scott received a call for help that would change his life. Terry, who had owned his own business for 14 years, was contacted by the cabinet company he worked with in Seattle. The company was participating in Rebuilding Together’s National Rebuilding Day in April, and they needed professional help. Terry happily agreed to lend a hand. “I’m all about giving back and helping out where I can,” he said. The morning of the build, Terry arrived on Rebuilding Together South Sound’s project site in his work truck full of tools. Other volunteers looked to him for advice, and within a couple of hours, he was running the project site. When the 10-hour workday ended, they had completed a total kitchen and bath remodel.
16 Rebuilding Together | 2013 in Review
Terry wanted to do more. “Is there any way I can get more involved?” he asked. “Next time, can I get into the house earlier and get my contractor eyes on it, so I have the materials we need on site? “I fell in love that first day. It was like wow, how cool is this? I saw all these people that wanted to come out and do something good, and help another human being.” Rebuilding Together South Sound was thrilled to have his help. Terry became a year-round volunteer and house captain. He brought his kids to project sites and they rebuilt alongside him. Over the years, he happily trained fellow volunteers in the art of Rebuilding Together. In August 2010, on the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Terry had the opportunity to go to New Orleans as part of Rebuilding Together’s Fifty for Five event. As part of the organization’s ongoing commitment to the renewal of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, Rebuilding Together gathered more than 1,000 volunteers to rebuild 50 homes in one week.
“I fell in love that first day. It was like wow, how cool is this?” Rebuilding Together | 2013 in Review 17
“This has been the most amazing ride.” “By the end of that week, I was hooked,” Terry said. So, when he received another call in 2013 from Rebuilding Together New York City’s executive director, Chelsea Muller – who had previously been a program manager at the South Sound affiliate – Terry flew out to help at another event, rebuilding after Superstorm Sandy in Gerritsen Beach, New York. Over the course of that week, Terry witnessed immense need. In addition to storm damage, contractor fraud had left many families with even less money to address the many issues in their deteriorating homes. This struck a nerve with him; a contractor himself, he couldn’t believe the lack of quality he was seeing in some of the work that had been done. He knew Rebuilding Together could offer these families safer, healthier homes. More importantly, he knew he could help rebuild people’s lives. Once again, Terry wanted to do more. 18 Rebuilding Together | 2013 in Review

The Importance of Helping Others:
John’s Story Volunteer and Donor
As John Brazzale worked on a home in Maywood, Illinois, he overheard the elderly homeowners say, “I can’t believe the good Lord brought all these people to help us on their day off work.” “[The couple] said something like that multiple times that day” as they marveled at the repairs in progress all around them, John recounted. “The gratitude that they expressed was enough to make me say, ‘there’s no reason I can’t give up one day a year to participate in something like this.’” John had been invited to volunteer with Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago by a former coworker whose church sponsors a home rebuild project each year on National Rebuilding Day. Having grown up in the construction business, John had handyman skills that would be very useful on project sites.

While the company John works for, Northern Trust, brings together a group of about 100 volunteers annually to complete a community project such as cleaning up a park or repainting a school, he prefers to volunteer on a home rebuild each year. He enjoys getting to know new people and witnessing the impact on homeowners’ lives firsthand. In Rebuilding Together, he has found a way to use the skills his late father taught him to help others, from painting walls and installing bathroom flooring to repairing crooked doors. John’s father was an electrician, and after he retired, he helped people in their homes. It was the idea of helping a homeowner that appealed most to John, who is glad for the opportunity to carry on his parents’ legacy. “They’re the ones who taught me the importance of giving back.

Our Supporters Currently, 5.2 million homeowners live in deteriorating, physically inadequate homes that threaten their wellbeing. Over 2.6 million of these are low-income homeowners. Faced with diminishing resources, these homeowners are forced to make tough decisions such as choosing food and medicine over critical home repairs. Consequently, their homes deteriorate over time, leading to crumbling foundations, dangerously sagging roofs, and windows and doors that can’t be secured. These health and safety hazards endanger homeowners, their families and their communities.
