What is success?

When we set out to do this project we defined success as 1) a complete home presented to the Todd family on time and 2) all of our relationships intact (students, family, donors, and volunteers). A week ago the scope seems so overwhelming and we were all working so hard, we weren’t sure we could achieve both. Given that we were trying to completely overhaul a property in 10 days and none of us had done it before, we  all agreed it would be a miracle to achieve success. At one point last week we reevaluated and decided that the relationships were more important than the home being completed on time, if we had to give up something it would be the completed home. I believe we chose the right thing and we were gifted with the Miracle we all desired. The home is near completion and we all enjoy each others company. We love the Todd family, they are so gracious and embracing of us. We appreciate the donors and are trying our best to express that appreciation. We all care deeply for each other and will never forget the 10 days we spent at Polyhouse. We appreciate the volunteers and couldn’t have accomplished it without their selflessly giving of their time. Thank you to all those who who helped us achieve this Miracle!
