Her Angels from Heaven
During a recent Truro Missions Service Project in April, volunteers from Truro, Fairfax, VA, rallied together to transform the home of Ms. Brooks, an elderly widow residing in Woodbridge, VA. In just two days, their collective efforts made a remarkable difference:
Painted four bedrooms
Painted two baths, kitchen, living room, den, and a hallway
Installed a bathroom floor, kitchen, and ceiling lights
Repaired interior and exterior doors
Fixed drywall and installed a wall panel
Renovated and painted the outside deck
Rebuilt a fence
Revamped plant beds and trimmed bushes
Planted flowers
Improved soil drainage by re-grading
Cleaned siding and gutters
Mowed the lawn
Provided breakfast and lunch for volunteers and the homeowner
Despite adverse weather conditions, including rain, many volunteers persevered until the completion of the project, even assisting with moving furniture and rehanging wall decorations. Their dedication and hard work resulted in a home that was not only repaired but also enhanced. Ms. Brooks refers to the volunteers “her angels from heaven!”
