A retired couple from Michigan came and hung interior doors for our rebuild (which is for a retired couple) and installed a closet system that they purchased themselves for the family in Clewiston. They also painted and installed flooring throughout the home. Later another retired couple from Kentucky came and joined the party by installing kitchen cabinets, painting and installing doors as well. Later in February a retired couple from Maine came and worked on these same projects at this home.
Art, our lone volunteer from Michigan that has been here for months continued to help us on several projects. He helped various families by installing doors, windows, a vanity, and skirting. He worked all over Hendry and Glades counties.
Grace Ministries returned again in February from Cape Coral sending three volunteers. They love us so much he just can't stop volunteering their time to help families recover. They worked on one home in Pioneer, installing a ceiling, and framing a bay window. They return every month almost.
A group of freezing Lutherans traveled here from Seattle Washington. They worked on several small projects in Clewiston, Montura and Harlem replacing doors, installing sub flooring, laying tile, repairing household items, cleaning the stove and refrigerator, finishing drywall, and prepping for painting.
Another group from North Dakota came, this group laughed when we apologized for the cold 30 degree weather we were experiencing. They let us know that it was 30 below at home and they felt like it was summer weather. This group of 11 volunteers calling themselves the Lutheran Laymen's League worked on 3 roofs. This same week a group of 7 came from a Methodist church in Manassass Virgina worked on two roofs. Also this week a group of 20 volunteers worked on several roofs, tile, sanding and painting ceilings, and replacing sub flooring.
A Methodist church in Pompano Beach and a Presbyterian church in Plantation sent volunteers to hang drywall, giving up their Saturday to work with us.
A family of volunteers from Ohio and Maryland were the last ones to come in February. One of them often writes articles about us (over the past year) and loved what she was hearing so she came to help us out herself and brought her family with her. They worked installing drywall for a young family with three small children (one an infant) whose father is actively going through chemotherapy trying to battle his cancer.

Nice blog, well intentioned, but done for what seems to me a narrow audience.
If that suits you, then just keep up the good work, maybe a bit more careful editing.
good luck
