I was given the opportunity to help build a demolish and rebuild a house for a citizen of the community. This man is 80+ years old and he worked for the government for 55 years and the Department of Youth Department decided to make a difference in his life. The man is called Country in the neighborhood and he has such a friendly and greatful spirit. I feel very blessed to be a part of rebuilding someone's home and providing them with joy and hope. All of the material used was donated and often times throughout the day he would say "Who's stuff is that?". We would say "Its for you" and he would say "Wow, really for me?" I imagine that seeing you home demolished would be devastating to me, but seeing all of the people who came out to rebuild would be a breathtaking experience.
