FIGHTING LYME'S DISEASE

CREATING A HEALTHIER HOME ENVIRONMENT

A single mother in Cary and her daughter had debilitating and progressive Lyme Disease. The symptoms of fatigue and muscle pain compromised the mother's ability to financially sustain her family. She could be perfectly fine one day and then not be able to get out of bed for three days. She needed a home office area to accommodate her erratic work schedule and carpeting fibers and dust that exacerbated her symptoms had to be replaced with wood flooring.

WHAT OUR VOLUNTEERS ACCOMPLISHED

Right side: The Mother and daughter were truly appreciative of the Build Team's response to their situation. The homeowner stated, “What a tremendous outpouring of time, hard work, and dedication by so many—such a gift to my daughter and me that will make such a difference in our journey back to health and wellness.
