I've had the good fortune of helping someone find a home - on their terms. The reward? They pledged $1,000 to a local charity of my choice when the deal is closed. I bet there are a lot of people leaving impressions quietly behind the scenes - be it a check, a blanket or a little bit of labor at a habitat home. You've inspired me to do a little more the next time I'm in Coconino County. ;-) Amen. I’ve had the good fortune of helping someone find a home – on their terms. The reward?
