Ms. Lloyce's Home - A Neighborhood Comes Together

Scroll through this gallery to see the project start to finish!

Ms. Lloyce was forced to stack two couches on top of each other to stay dry before she was rescued from the Hurricane Harvey floods. The Restoration Team was introduced to Lloyce through her church, New Pleasant Grove Missionary Baptist in the Kashmere Gardens neighborhood where her late husband served as the groundskeeper. Members of Ms. Lloyce's congregation served on the home alongside volunteers from all over the country until she was ready to move back in. In total, 132 volunteers worked for 3,879 hours on the repairs!

One of our favorite moments of the project was when over forty volunteers from five different congregations in the neighborhood came together one day after worship and breakfast to paint Ms. Lloyce's house a beautiful blue. Laughter and tears mixed with paint and sweat made for an incredible Saturday that we'll never forget. 

With the help of our wonderful volunteers and donors, we were able to muck and gut the home, level the foundation, install a new roof, repair damaged siding, repair interior framing, insulate, hang drywall, install laminate flooring, cabinets, and trim. The results were amazing!

Thanks to friends like you, these transformations happen every week throughout neighborhoods across Houston. Would you consider supporting The Restoration Team's mission to repairing homes like Ms. Lloyce's?
