Rick in action
We spent the day at an apartment complex that fell into disrepair. For the past few years, it was inhabited by squatters. SALS bought it for $7,000 and is now gutting it so they can rebuild.
We were working on gutting 4 apartments: removing lots of stuff left over by the squatters, tearing out cabinets (Dotty is amazing with a sledgehammer), and pulling out the wallboard to the studs. Matt and I were removing piles of insulation that fell to the floor when the ceiling collapsed.
We can only wonder what life was like for these people who had no choice but live there. We threw out clothes Christmas decorations, children's toys, food, cigarette packages, drug needles and a math book.
We can only hope that this means decent, affordable housing for people who need it.
Keep praying for us!
