Last Saturday Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara welcomed 27 volunteers to our first A Brush with Kindness home repair. The volunteers generously gave their weekend to help Suzanna and Tina with necessary home repairs. A huge amount was accomplished in just one day. The driveway was prepared for repaving and in doing so removed two dumpster loads of soil. All of the exterior walls and rafters were power washed and scraped and the landscaping received a major face-lift.
We were deeply impressed by the volunteers enthusiasm, strength, and dedication to helping the community. Suzanna and Tina were touched by the support of so many. This was only day one of the home repair and the amount of work that was completed is truly amazing. We look forward to showing you the before and after photos!
