61-year old Lorene Bell, whose home was severely damaged during Ike, will receive the key to her newly refurbished home in southeast Houston as part of Neighborhood Centers Operation Welcome Home.
Ms. Bells home had extensive structural damage as a result of Hurricane Ike and, basically, had to be gutted and rebuilt. The scope of work and repairs included a new roof, new kitchen and appliances, bathroom, living room and furniture, flooring, sheetrock, electrical work and repair plumbing lines.
Since the initial gutting of Ms. Bells home in November, she has been living in a hotel. On February 19th, she was finally able to come home.

We'd also love to thank Southwest Surplus for furnishing Ms. Bell's home! Our apologies for leaving you out of the thank you credits!!
