Justin’s entry – Support your community, Support Polyhouse!

Thus far, the Polyhouse project has been quite an invigorating experience. From day one when we met the family, our team has done a magnificent job at creating ideas and solutions to meet the needs of Caleb and the rest of the family. I have to say that I am truly impressed with the level of commitment each student has exhibited, day in day out, to produce the best possible product for the family. I also strongly feel, especially as of late, that there has been very healthy conflict amongst the individual teams to establish the priorities in terms of what is best for the family, and not our own ambitions.

At this point, our team has taken the combined preliminary plans for each sub-project and reorganized them into a more viable and effectual scope. By the end of this week, we will have solid plans and resource estimates for each addition and renovation that we can move forward with and begin to secure more targeted donations.

We are very grateful to the organizations that have committed to supply Polyhouse with donations and discounts so that we can make this project happen. Our groups are continually searching for any support we can acquire. I’d like to emphasize that anyone who would like to support this community project should not hesitate, no matter how big or small the donation may be. A great way to help and have some fun would be to join us for our Pancake Breakfast on Sunday May 2^nd– tickets can be purchased for $6 from any student involved with Polyhouse. Other simple ways to help that would greatly assist us include materials donations, monetary donations, volunteer work, and references to anyone connected to the construction industry. Thank you for visiting us on our blog. I encourage you to stay connected to us through our website and continue to look for ways you can help. Also, check us out on Facebook and share your ideas for other avenues for resources and fundraising.
