From an email:
WorkCamp was a success. In just four days, more than 800 teenagers repaired 104 homes in nine northern and central Virginia counties. The teens replaced windows, gutters, doors, and roofs. They also painted, built wheelchair ramps, decks, and renovated bathrooms.
The Catholic Diocese of Arlington’s Youth Ministry Director, Kevin Bohli, found out about the homes after contacting Social Services in each county.
Among those counties was Stafford, where teenagers worked on 29 homes including that of Kevin Curtis. Kevin has been trapped inside his home for 14 years after a horrific accident in 2003.
Wheelchair bound, the only way he can leave is if his sons literally lift him out of the chair and place him in the car. This week the teenagers built him a ramp.
