Overhaulin' with the Motz family!
Thu, Nov 26, 2009
Inspired by Extreme Makeover: Home edition, Mission: Outdoor Overhaul strives to better living conditions for local families in need. The response has been incredible with a two-fold outcome. Not only have we been able to make a difference for very deserving families, businesses within the community continue to catch the contagious desire to get involved.
We are thrilled to announce that the most recent Mission: Outdoor Overhaul went extremely well. The recipients were Vicie Motz and her three children, Trevor, Hunter, and Angel. All three of her children are adopted and have special needs. The driveways that the Motz’s had to use were in bad condition, which created a challenge for the nurses that come every day as well as making it hard to maneuver their wheelchairs in the gravel.
The Motz family was nominated by the nurses that help them on a daily basis and were then chosen by the members of the Mission: Outdoor Overhaul board. Vicie and her children were prime candidates to receive services provided through Mission: Outdoor Overhaul. We were able to improve the wheelchair ramp and pave the driveway that connects to their house as well as the road that leads to her late mother’s house.
Tim Simounet, president of Englewood Lawn and Landscapes, gathered a crew together and joined us in our efforts to help the Motz family. After meeting Vicie and seeing the inside of her home adorned with plants, it was clear she enjoys having plant life around but has no time to invest in the outside of their house. Thanks to the generous people at Englewood, the Motz house is now decorated with a beautiful landscape.
