Tim's team report: Like so many in Nashville, Ronnie Coleman was flooded in May 2010. He was stranded in his house for hours. As water rose his life was in danger as he did not know how to swim. He was rescued, but suffered the devastation of losing everything. He contacted Westminster Presbyterian and is now getting the help he needs to go on living in his childhood home.
Team members Bob, Jerrilyn, Lance, Patreen, Donna and leader Tim have been working hard. The first two days of the week have been spent laying laminate flooring, cleaning and helping Ronnie to sort through his belongings.
Ronnie lives in his home with his beloved African parrot, Barney. Ronnie has been at home, always willing to work with the team and share stories. He has been living in the sunroom, the only room of his house that is heated. He recently had an HVAC system installed. Walls have been drywalled and painted. The kitchen is currrently being renovated and Ronnie is wating for delivery of kitchen cabinets.
Much work remains on Ronnie's house. He does not have a ktichen sink and many flood damaged household objects are stacked on his patio. We have only begun the process that will bring full restoration.
