Habitat's latest critical home repair project was a flooring replacement project for the Lawrence family in Orem. Kathy and John Lawrence have five children, and the youngest, JJ, has cerebral palsy. JJ has a child's walker, but has been confined to the kitchen because his walking trainer does not work on carpet. Last weekend, the family's extended family as well as volunteers from BYU's MBAA came to help install new laminate flooring throughout the home. JJ now loves walking throughout the home.
A few months ago, Kathy Lawrence's mother contacted the The Home Depot Foundation in Atlanta, Georgia by email and told them about the family's need. Less than a day later, The Home Depot Foundation contacted Habitat staffer Ashley Burton and offered to fund the project if Habitat volunteers could provide the labor. When Ashley contacted Kathy and John, they were unaware that they had been referred to The Home Depot Foundation. They and their family are so grateful for the volunteers and The Home Depot Foundation for making this project possible.
