at least stabilize the house enough to use as a reasonably fortified
shelter. And that’s when the miracles started happening.
By that very evening, through the power of Facebook, we had
secured a new roof–that was being donated! And everything from
there fell into place in a way that we could have never imagined.
Some longtime supporter friends of Shower Power called and
offered to provide us with the support of a general contractor to help
get us started. Sheetrock and all the supplies needed to hang it was
donated. A 2.5 ton HVAC and the installation of it was donated.
The calls kept coming–and so did the cash.
We started referring to our supporters as our “Village” and we
updated everyone routinely through Facebook. Plumbing fixtures
were donated along with windows and doors. An electrical company
agreed to donate all of the wiring and its installation–and the
owner of that company acted as a general contractor that got us
across the finish line.
Drywall installation was donated. Custom cabinets were built,
donated, and installed. A college group came and painted the entire
interior. A local business owner purchased flooring for us and the
company she purchased it from donated the installation! It was
amazing—and it had God’s fingerprints all over it.
