Electrician and a group of volunteers repair the house of an elderly woman in need completely free

Gloria Scott, a 72-year-old woman, called electrician John Kinney to take a look at a lamp that didn’t work at home; However, the lamp was the least of the problems: the whole house urgently needed repair.

Half of the lights did not work, the house did not have running water,
the roof was falling apart, there were serious plumbing problems, and the garden looked like a jungle with overgrown plants and grass. Kinney knew he had to do something about it to help Gloria.

I couldn’t leave her like this

Gloria does not have enough financial resources to cover all the composure of the house and she does not have close relatives to help her.

A great project was born

That’s how Kinney had an excellent idea to solve the big problem: he organized a drive to raise funds for building materials and brought together a group of professional volunteers to do the repairs completely free.

The house has serious plumbing problems that need to be fixed. Extensive drywall repair is required. A lot of paint. The brick steps to your front porch can cause a serious accident. I have a network of trained professionals who will donate their time to this cause. I am looking to raise money for supplies.

Many hands joined

And that is how a wonderful network of help between people was born. Everyone supported to fix the patio, redo the roof, paint the house
and renovate the porch stairs.

Everything turned out perfectly

The collection was a success, they managed to raise more than 110 thousand dollars
for construction materials of the project that is still underway. In addition, the neighbors have donated food for the builders.

This gesture has gone around the world

Gloria didn’t pay a single penny and is totally grateful for so much support. The good work of “The Gladiators of Glory”, as they called themselves, began to appear in local and international media. Now there is a whole group dedicated to this project and they have an Instagram account.

An exemplary team

Everything that can be achieved with support and solidarity is wonderful!
