My experience volunteering for the church helping repair homes of the less fortunate

6:30 AM wake-up calls. 9 hour work days. 100+ degree temperatures. One of
the most rewarding experiences of my life. Let me explain. Earlier this year, in June
more specifically, I traveled to rural Kentucky with some friends and other members of
my church to build and repair houses for the less fortunate. Looking back, I learned and
experienced more than I could have ever imagined.
Some people I knew from school and some from our parish had volunteered for
this work in the past. I had never been interested. I am still not sure what caused me to
sign up that weekend in March…
