Project 4: Edwards 4.23 – 4. 25 & 4.30 – 4.25; 2-week Grant house
Mrs. Edwards has lived in her home for 19 years with her two special-needs daughters, who have volunteered to help get their mom on the fast repair list. On a fixed income, she has struggled with home maintenance and been misled by contractors. These repairs would be life-changing, especially a new roof and accessible shower.
A longtime caregiver and community helper, Mrs. Edwards fostered children for eight years and served as a church minister, reflecting her generous, caring nature. She is deeply grateful to all involved, saying it shows there are kind-hearted people in the world.
The home repairs needed include:
- Replacing the roof and HVAC system
- Replacing the front and rear doors, and the rear landing if needed
- Replacing 12 windows, exterior trim, and fascia as required
- Installing an aluminum door transition and a front porch ramp
- Converting the master bathroom tub into a walk-in shower with grab bars and an ADA toilet, and adding a shower chair if space allows
- Repairing leaks, inspecting the water heater, and replacing them if needed
- Repairing damaged drywall
- Repairing or replacing exterior siding, caulking, and other exterior repairs
- Replacing light switches, outlets, and ceiling fans as needed
- Installing vinyl plank flooring
- Painting the exterior as needed
These repairs will make her home safer, more accessible, and better maintained for her and her daughters.
