Local Sturgis Resident gets a Home Makeover
February 22, 2010-Local Resident gets a home makeover thanks to NeighborWorks® Dakota Home Resources. NeighborWorks® completed a rehab project to help make a Sturgis home safe for single mom and her children.
Tiffany Bailey contacted to NeighborWorks regarding the safety of her home. Her basement bathroom had visible mold, and she had concerns about the electrical wiring. Being a single mother of three and with another one on the way, the home improvements needed would be too costly for Tiffany to afford by herself. Thanks to NeighborWorks her home was able to get the makeover that it needed at an affordable cost. NeighborWorks helped replace the kitchen floor, finished the basement and complete electrical upgrade. The home also had a complete mold remediation to ensure the air was clean for Tiffany and her boys. Tiffany is very thankful for the rehab assistance that was provided by NeighborWorks, “I cannot begin to express my gratitude to the people at NeighborWorks; especially to Robert Thorp. I can come home every night and know my boys are breathing fresh air and that we are living in a safe environment”.
