Providing A Variety Of Elderly And Disabled House Repair Services
Every year on Blitz Day, nearly 30 Anne Arundel County households benefit from our home renovation and restoration projects. Last year, house repair volunteers made a huge difference in the life of Florence Hayes. The 90-year - old resident had difficulty climbing the stairs to her only bathroom. Rebuilding Together House Captain George Councill and Ambassador Catherine Dorsey worked with a team to construct a first-floor bathroom in a corner of Mrs. Hays existing living room. On Blitz Day, volunteers not only finished the new bath, they built a handicapped ramp to the house, installed a new bulkhead and cellar doors, painted the upstairs bath, and hauled away unused household items. Thanks to Rebuilding Together, Mrs. Hayes now lives in a safer, more convenient home. Other examples of Blitz Day’s accessible-home-modification projects include:
- Installing hot -and cold- running water for an elderly disabled man
- Completing extensive plumbing repairs in an elderly woman’s home
- Widening the bathroom door for a man confined to a wheelchair
- Installing a new septic tank for an elderly woman
