On Saturday, April 30, the GHBA Remodelers Council, led by Sherry Pruitt, CGR, CAPS, with Whodid It Design, completed the 2016 Charity Project at the Casa de Esperanza – Mary Scalise home. The RMC volunteers made much-needed updates and improved the functionality, safety and beauty of the foster mother’s home.
Mary is an employee of Casa de Esperanza who has adopted four children from Casa de Esperanza. The youngest, Luke, has significant disabilities (cerebral palsy) and is wheelchair bound. The project added wheelchair accessibility to the home, as well as a much-needed first-floor bathroom with roll-in shower. Additionally, the crew updated the kitchen with new cabinets, countertops and appliances and painted and replaced flooring on the first floor.
Thank you to the numerous companies that donated to the project. A very special thank you to Christian Fitsch-Mouras, CAPS with 101 Mobility for donating and installing a ceiling transfer lift that will allow the safe and easy transfer of Luke.
