Donations provide improvements to “This Old House.”

Our house received some much needed updates this year from many local companies.

intel-team.pngOur house received some much needed updates this year as fabulous people have graced our path. We improved our infrastructure to lower energy costs thanks to assistance from Union Savings Bank, Danbury Savings Bank, The Otto Co. and Associated Refuse which provided numerous dumpsters to support our projects. A wonder team of people from Intel have helped with house upkeep, and recently replaced our broken fence along our eastern border. Leigh D. Overland, AIA prepared plans & specifications to improve access to the first and second floors. We are now raising funds to install a handicap accessible front entrance, and raising the balance of funds to match an individual’s 50% offer to cover the estimated cost of $16,000 to improve access to the second floor.

Success Story

 

Loretta

I was staying with my cousin, her six children and husband and it was crowded.  She saw the Renewal House sign at the hairdresser, so I gave Karen Messina a call.

It felt bad to be older and not have a place of my own; I had a part time job and was under a doctor’s care.  I was not on disability yet.  My knee was acting up badly and it was hard to get around.  Apartments were sky high and it was hard for me to get around to see them.  Driving was stressful for me so I turned my license in.

When I found Renewal House, it was a blessing for me.  I made friends with the other residents.  We had Bible Study and monthly house meetings.  I became more interested in the things that were going on here.

I cooked whatever I wanted once a week.  We all pitched in to do chores and dishes.  We all got along very good.  It was just like another family.

I have four children of my own, twelve grandchildren and became great, great grandmother last August.

 

What will you do today to help change a life forever?
