Bring Samantha Home!

FINISHED PROJECT PAGE AT: http://www.newlifemilwaukie.com/bring-samantha-home.html

More than two weeks ago, a major water leak in the crawlspace of their cozy home forced a single mom and her 2 children to shut off the water and vacate their home. She is a veteran and is only able to get part-time work right now.

Thanks to help of family, they have been able to have shelter. They desperately need to get multiple repairs done to move back into their home. Repairs include:

• fixing the water leaks
• running a new water line from meter to house
• repairing leaking tub drain
• removing shower wall tiles
• removing large window in shower
• remove rotten sheetrock 
• reframing outside wall
• installing new greenboard sheetrock
• installing new tub faucet & showerhead
• installing new multi-piece tub wall enclosure
• remove broken vanity
• installing new vanity, sink, and faucet
• installing new toilet and suply line
• installing new light fixture
• installing new flooring
• finish with new paint, rugs, and shower curtain

We are enlisting all volunteer labor. All funds raised will go first to materials. Any funds leftover will go directly to the family.

This community project is supported by local churches including:

1. New Life Christian Center
2. Clackamas Bible Church
3. Life Journey Community
