SENPH Profile: Silvia (Garland, NC)

This is Silvia. She is poultry farm worker from Garland, NC. Silvia is a single-mother of four girls and the sole care-taker of her elderly mother. She heard about our program through a family friend and decided to apply. Her kitchen needed to be upgraded because the floors were sinking in and the walls were falling apart.

Our program was able to help her completely remodel her kitchen. Her excitement and gratitude of picking out her preferred colors, cabinets, and floors made this particular project such a pleasure to complete! Her mother is back to cooking in a safe kitchen and the family is back to eating all together at a dinner table!
