Before the work began...

Today we had our big Both Hands Project! You can learn more about Both Hands by clicking here. Our project ended up being quite the journey but something God orchestrated so perfectly. We first had a widow in Madera who didn't need much done but she was trying to sell her home so she wanted things "spruced up". We met with her and went over what she wanted done. A week before the project she called and said she had sold her home...so we had to find a new widow and quick if we still wanted to do the project on the same day. We had no idea who we would get (it's not as easy as it sounds) but my mom told me there was a widow who lived next door to her. This widow does not speak much English so it was kind of hard talking with her about the project but she was willing to let us do whatever we felt we could do to help her. He son died in a car accident a couple years ago. Then shortly after her "husband" died of a heart attack, leaving her to raise her other two sons. She was never married to this man so she does not receive any type of Social Security from his death. All she has is his retirement which will run out in a couple years and at that point she said she does not know what will happen. Her back fence was totally rotting and falling down, the outside of her house needed painting, and her yard needed some TLC. With the help of some caring donors, we had all the supplies donated. Today we had about 20 volunteers show up to do the work for this widow. It was a sight to see! Everyone worked so hard, the weather was perfect, and the house looks amazing! I feel totally blessed to do this project where we could raise money to bring Brayden home and at the same time help this widow who truly needed it! Thank you to all those who were involved!
