The Houston Remodelors Council Spring Charitable Project, in partnership with
HomeAid Houston, involved extensively remodeling the home of a very worthy recipient, Cora Casey,
a foster and adoptive mother to four children with multiple disabilities.
Headed by charitable projects chairman Dennis Haws, CGR, of All Star
Construction, the goal of the project was to make the home more accessible for
the children.
The Remodelors Council enlisted the aid of many of their suppliers and vendors,
as well as other members of the GHBA, and together they donated $100,000 in
materials and 2,000 hours of labor. The project was completed in 10 days.
Members, vendors and suppliers donated lumber,
|
plumbing supplies, paint, tankless water heaters, a clothes dryer and a 30 KW
stand-by diesel generator valued at $15,000 needed to maintain electrical power
for the children’s ventilators if the grid goes down.
For the project, the remodelers put their CAPS skills to work improving the
accessibility of the first floor and installing two new bathrooms with
wheelchair accessible roll-in showers and commodes.
The volunteers also upgraded the wiring, plumbing and finishing, landscaped the
backyard and installed a swing set for the children.
