Vietnam United States Army Veteran Isaac Morris and his wife could not drink the brown water coming out of the faucets in their 80-year-old Austell home. The heating bills were through the roof due to old faulty windows. Thanks to a Veteran grant from the Home Depot Foundation, our team was able to replace plumbing, windows, HVAC, do driveway and gutter repairs and provide safety grab bars for this deserving couple.
“We had to buy bottled water, even for our dog,” said Morris. “The heating bill was double what it is now. Now we can keep the house.”
At Habitat, we are committed to helping seniors and Veterans safely age in place with the autonomy and freedom that undergirds their well-being and health.
Morris continued, “Home Depot you dramatically changed a Veteran’s life and made our property livable. I really appreciate what Home Depot did for me and my wife.
“It goes far beyond saying ‘thank you for your service’ when a company like Home Depot puts action behind their money, it means a lot.”
