“Heroes at Home” wrap up: Mrs. Peets

As the crew completed repairs on the Peets’ home, the volunteers along with the homeowners were excited about the final results.

Vanrine Peets, the homeowner’s son, said his mom’s house looks much better than it did before.

“I think it’s really good,” Peets said. “I’m really impressed with the deck and also the attic.”

Peets appreciated what the volunteers did for his family.

“I think it means a lot,” he said. “Sometimes it’s hard for her to find help. So I think she’s very thankful and grateful for this.”

While volunteers made significant improvements to the home, house captain, Herb Chafin, said crews always wish they could do more than what one day allows.

“You always want to get more done,” Chafin said. “You come out and run as fast as you can and get as much done as you can, but you never get done everything you want to.”

Chafin, who has worked with Rebuilding Together for a decade, continues to be active with the organization because he believes in its mission to help those who don’t have the resources to help themselves.
