Hobbs Family

Vasheda Hobbs and her three daughters’ home was destroyed by Hurricane Michael. Initially, they were able to stay with family, then found a short-term rental, but struggled to pay the high rent. Another client suggested to Vasheda that she contact the North Florida Inland LTR, so she reached out. Months later, she was selected by a review committee as one of the recipients of a new home to be constructed by AC HarvestCall. The Salvation Army covered demolition and removal of the prior structure, Capital Area Community Action Agency assisted with materials, and Chipola Baptist Association helped with furniture. On Friday, March 12, the Hobbs […]

Nix Family

As LTR team members were assisting a neighbor, they met Mr. Willie Nix in 2019. Willie had retired from Covenant Hospice after years of service and was raising two active grandsons, ages 6 and 8. The Nix home needed extensive repairs, so Chipola Baptist Association (CBA) provided a travel trailer for them to move into until the home could be recovered. Unfortunately, due to COVID, the project was delayed and the family lived in the camper for over a year. However, AC HarvestCall took on the Nix project in early 2020, and recently welcomed the family home! North Florida Inland LTR coordinated […]

Additional support was provided by Innovative Charities of NWFL and the LTR. […]
