HOMEOWNER PROFILE: This bright and amiable homeowner is 77 years old, from Huntington, West Virginia. She came to California because as she puts it, “it was time to leave.” She and her best friends moved to San Francisco in 1960. There, she worked as a stockbroker and eventually met her husband, who was a pilot. He served in the Army Air Corps of World War II, flying over the Himalayas, or “The Hump,” to deliver supplies from India to China. Following his service, he continued working as a commercial pilot. The couple moved throughout California, from San Carlos to Long Beach, finally settling in current San Jose home in 1965. The couple did not have children, and although her husband died in 2014 the homeowner and her cat are enjoying life. She is an avid painter, a hobby she picked up from her husband. Their impressive work is colorfully displayed around the living area, and she frequently hosts painting parties with her friends. With SSI as her sole income, this homeowner would benefit from work to revitalize her home.

Your points of contact for Rebuilding Day will be House Captain Rick White, and Volunteer Coordinator, Suzanne Boxer-Gassman. You can identify them by their Orange t-shirts. The work scope will likely include some skirting repair, ceiling repair,  and exterior painting.
