HisHands2Go has been assisting homeowner Desoto "Bobby" Jackson with his home for roughly 2 1/2 months now. Mr. Jackson, an elderly gentleman, has been doing much of the work of rebuilding his home himself since 2005. HH2G staff made contact with him soon after the hurricane, and reconnected with him this winter (2010). Mr. Jackson was only expecting to have a little help, so he was thrilled when HH2G offered him much more: we've made a goal of finishing the work on Bobby's home, and seeing him move back into it, preferably by the end of 2010. Most HH2G volunteers that have come down since January have been priviledged to assist Bobby with his home, and have carried away wonderful memories of working with and for this man. Though much has been accomplished, there is still much to do, and now the work is to a point that it requires some skilled workers... but of course we ALWAYS welcome the unskilled as well :) Here are the tasks we are seeking to accomplish:SKILLED
1) Sanding & refinishing hardwood floors
2) Finish carpentry work
UNSKILLED
1) Scraping & painting
2) Drywall hanging
3) Mudding, taping, sanding drywall
Please consider taking a week of your time to come down and work on Mr. Jackson's home. For more information or to book a trip, visit http://www.hishands2go.com/, email teams@hishands2go.com, or call (504) 302-0788. We look forward to seeing you!
