They\u2019ve made this community their home since the late 1970s and used to spend every summer maintaining it; but as one year skipped to the next, the once groomed hedge became too stubborn to reckon with alone. What used to be a cozy spot to sit and watch their two dogs play had become an unwieldy nuisance. As the hedge encroached upon their back steps, they knew it was time to reach out for help.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs you get older, things become a little harder to maintain,\u201d Beverly says. \u201cWithout Habitat, we wouldn\u2019t have been able to take care of it. The payments are reasonable and the whole process has been very easy.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shortly after applying for Habitat for Humanity\u2019s home repair program, the couple set sights on repainting their home as a way to contribute their \u201csweat equity\u201d hours. While our Home Repair Manager Sam cleared the shrubbery from their backyard, Beverly and Dale were busy reviving their home\u2019s natural luster with a soft yellow paints and blue trim to compliment.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One final buzz of the power hedge trimmers, the clearing revealed a forgotten shed and room enough to establish a rain garden via our partners at <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.verdenw.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verde<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis is one project we couldn\u2019t do alone,\u201d Dale says. \u201cWe have a backyard again.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a fresh coat of paint and new backyard, the whole home has undergone a 360-degree transformation. With the money saved by partnering with Habitat, Beverly and Dale plan to complete small indoor projects on their own.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s important for us to be independent,\u201d Beverly says. \u201cI\u2019d like to stay out of a nursing home for as long as possible and now I can do that. Working with Habitat has made it affordable for me to stay in my home.
