From the first phone call

OCTOBER 2023

Be the Gift provides home repair assistance for Widows, Single Mom homeowners and their

Children. We connect those who want to help with those who need help.

Tears, tears, and more tears. That is our experience from the first phone call when we contact ladies who request assistance. They are grateful to even be considered for help. Their homes have real issues. We have staff, skilled volunteers and business groups who help. With materials being donated, we can make it all happen.

I’d like to share about three home repair projects. It is all best conveyed through their words.

The extraordinary team with Be the Gift replaced 9 windows and screens in our home, plus our back door, furnace filters, and some weather stripping.

“It brings comfort to my soul to think of the long-term impact of your loving kindness . The organization and everyone who volunteers are shining examples of the goodness of the human spirit”

“You have given me increased peace of mind with regard to safety in our home, decreased stress by reducing future winter bills, reduced dirt/dust/bugs coming into our home”

“Thank you for helping us and thank you for praying with me and lifting me up during this immensely trying stage of motherhood and of my daughter's life.”

“You make miracles and real-life magic happen and the depth of feeling and gratitude I have for all of you is hard to put into words.”

My basement had flooded numerous times leaving the room down there in shambles. The carpet was replaced with waterproof flooring, and new trim. The window well was resealed to help prevent the water getting in.

" I am deeply grateful for all the work they did! I felt so anxious about mold and fixing the problem and you were was able to ease my nerves"

"It makes me feel less alone when all my family is out of state"

"Thank you for showing up, caring and helping me and my kids! "

A new fence installed at my backyard perimeter, also a step installed off my back patio to the yard.

" After a very traumatic security issue, I cannot begin to explain what comfort and safety we now feel when looking out our back door. God bless you all!"

Thanks for your support, encouragement and kindness. Stay in touch, nominate a widow or single mom and volunteer if you have a few hours on a Saturday morning. Donations keep us moving forward and helping as many families as we can. click to donate
