Former volunteer firefighter Ascencion Gonzalez, 74, said he was treated “like a VIP” when volunteers from Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley visited his west Morgan Hill home Oct. 28 to make some repairs.
On this clear, cool Saturday morning, the nonprofit organized the “Rebuilding Day” at 38 homes throughout the valley. Three of the homes—including Gonzalez’—were in Morgan Hill. At Gonzalez’ home, the volunteers led by Rotary Club of Morgan Hill installed a new fence and gate leading to the back yard, painted the exterior and interior, installed a new overhead light in the master bedroom and put in a new stove in the kitchen.
