Brush with Kindness, a program launched by Habitat for Humanity of Ogle County, recently built a new ramp leading into the home of two Rochelle residents.
BWK is a program that provides services such a painting, landscaping and minor exterior repairs for lower income homeowners. This year alone, they are completing four to five different projects all throughout Ogle County and this was one of the first.
Hub City Senior Center officials reached out to the Habitat leaders about completing this ramp for the homeowner’s wife.
“The wife had recently been in the hospital and the husband was very concerned about her mobility and being able to get her in and out of the house without having a ramp already in place,” explained Vanessa L. White-Broome, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Ogle County.
