A Bathroom Rescue When is a bathroom makeover more than just a renovation? In the case of a recent Repairing Homes, Restoring Hope project, it's when the makeover actually is a rescue. The bathroom floor in the house of an older homeowner was in such bad condition that it was dangerous to enter the room. (Ask our volunteer, whose foot went through the floor.) After several weeks of work, the bathroom has a new (and safe) floor, as well as a sink that allows for greater mobility in the room, grab bars for safety, and a retiled shower. This rescue was done at no cost to the homeowneer--thanks to a committed volunteer who provided all the labor and funds from Elder Care Ministries to cover the cost of supplies. |
