FROM THE COMMUNITY Dominican Center fosters resident-led change and values the support of volunteers, donors and partners
“It is wonderful what Dominican Center is doing for the community. I am so appreciative of the help with my home, I can’t even explain it. It’s like, even when you think you don’t need anything or you can’t ask, God will bring people into your life. [Housing Coordinator] Amanda helped me with the process and now she calls just to see how I am! I call her my daughter. I worked for years and years to pay off my house and my husband and I did everything ourselves. I love my house because of all the good memories I have here, my kids grew up here. When I couldn’t do the repairs myself anymore, I didn’t like asking my kids for help, so I asked God and he brought me help. Block by Block helped me with repairs on my windows, doors, porch, basement and outside concrete.”
