Thanks to the Box Elder office, NeighborWorks Dakota Home Resources has been building solid partners and reaching out to more families and individuals in Western South Dakota. On February 23rd, the Community Development office contacted NeighborWorks seeking assistance for a client that was in need of an "Emergency" water heater.
Homeowner, Judy McKeon, is on a fixed income that limited her ability to replace her non-working hot water heater. Thanks to the partnership between Community Development and NeighborWorks Dakota Home Resources, NeighborWorks was able to provide a loan which allowed Judy to replace the water heater quickly.
Together both organizations helped improve the quality of her home and life.
Although Judy has had a difficult year, she was still very positive and thankful. Several times she stated, "What a lucky person I am."
Judy's Loan Counselor, Doris Nelson, stated "I thought, "Wow", I could sure learn something from this lady on Positive Attitudes".
