Story
The repairs made by ASP volunteers have a significant impact on the families whose homes are repaired. The families experience dramatic improvements in their living conditions which not only impact their health and wellness, but also their quality of life. Children are no longer in danger of falling through a rotting floor, or spending a winter shivering in an uninsulated house. And in removing the mold and moisture that are common in substandard homes, we enable families to breathe safely. These things are critically important, but so are the emotional health and self-esteem of the families. As happened recently, when a child tells us now my friends can come over we understand that our repairs go beyond what we can do with hammers and nails.
ASP has blessed us so much by giving us someplace safe to raise our kids. We just walk around all the time and talk about how much we love our home. --Lilah, Lawrence County, KY
I prayed for a long time for a decent house, or to get this one fixed up. ASP was the answer to my prayers. God does it in his time and in his way. Thank you. It's been hard, seeing my house like this. I thank them for sacrificing their summer to come here and help someone else. Its a blessing. --Gloria, Kanawha County, WV
Two girls in a van pulled up and asked if I needed help. It was like God sent them. ASP is like family, like angels who have been sent to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for me and my children. I'm getting excited for winter. It's going to be warm. --Tonya, Leslie County, KY
