New Spring Sponsor!

Rebuilding Together Seattle wants to thank Howard S. Wright for becoming a sponsor of Spring Rebuilding Day 2010.

A Howard S. Wright Project Engineer, Whitney Evans, will lead a HSW team on April 24th for Spring Rebuilding Day. "The Project Engineers at Howard S. Wright wanted to get involved in a community project. Rebuilding Together was a perfect community project that would allow us to utilize our building knowledge and resources to help individuals to safely stay in their homes," Whitney explained. "A Rebuilding Together Day project combines my two favorite things, helping people and construction."

The HSW team will be helping Rebuilding Together Client client, Wesley, by building a wheelchair ramp, fixing several roofing issues, and with various other household projects that Wesley is unable to do on his own.  At the age of 14, Wesley contracted polio, resulting in his lifelong dependence on crutches. Soon after his illness, Wesley's family had to relocate from South Dakota to Washington to find work to support him. Eventually, Wesley recovered enough to find a job in television repair work. He is currently retired and lives alone. The HSW team will be preserving Wesley's independence and improving the safety of his home.

Last year, RTS was grateful to HSW for their project management on a Spring Rebuilding Day 2009 home. Howard S. Wright looks forward to building their partnership with RTS and helping many more homeowners in the future!
