Kerri’s best friend texted 20 people to see if they would help replace the flooring in their house. Home repairs, were something Kerri and her family wanted to do for some time.
Here’s the best part, around 50 people heard about the remodel and decided to take it a step further.
Their small town has about 1,000 residents and round 75 people volunteered their time. In one week, the volunteers redid the floors, one of the bathrooms, replaced light fixtures, repainted the walls, fixed up the yard, and even installed a new furnace.
The labor was free and the materials alone cost about $9,000, but Kerri and her husband didn’t pay for any of it.
A GoFundMe campaign was set up to raise $15,000, and it’s already up to $23,000.
