Wells Fargo Employees Transform Local Home Making it Safer and Healthier for All
Thanks to the generous financial support and volunteer service of a group of Wells Fargo employees, RTMC clients, Ed and Diane, have a safer and healthier home they can depend on for years to come.
When Ed and Diane first came to Rebuilding Together, they had experienced significant water damage in their home, caused by both a roof leak and a lingering plumbing leak on their main level. These leaks presented not only an eyesore in cracked ceilings and water stains, but they also caused health hazards with mold having grown behind their drywall and across their basement carpeting.
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." Winston Churchill.

1. Dry
2. Clean
3. Pest-free
4. Safe
5. Contaminant-free
6. Well ventilated
7. Well maintained
8. Climate controlled
Take a look at the HUD website for more information about Healthy Housing Month and how you can make sure your home is safe, healthy, and dependable for years to come.
