Clark and Angela Hook

Project Date: 6/26/10
Location: Franklin, TN
Child: Evangeline from Russia

“It was a fantastic day, with at least 40 volunteers! We painted 3 rooms, painted trim, brought a hardwood floor back to life, cleaned the kitchen & cabinets, created some flowerbeds, pressure-washed the whole house, removed old appliances replaced with new, donated appliances, took 4 truckloads of garbage to the dump, repaired two holes in her ceiling, put a tarp on the leaky roof so the repair will be protected, and got rid of a dead tree in her front yard.
 
During the interview, I asked the widow how she felt and she replied, ‘This is the best day in my life!’”

“The project was great! We were able to finish many projects for Phyllis she wouldn't have been able to do. We feel blessed by everyone who helped and for having the opportunity to bless another person while blessing us at the same time.”
