Neighborhood:  Verona

Years in her home:  15

Despite her trouble sitting, standing, or walking for long periods of time, Ms. Cotton is an active member of the Penn Hills community who dedicates much of her time to her church. Over the years, the condition of her home has slowly deteriorated and her limited means has made it impossible for her to pay to have the necessary repairs made.

Even though her home needed many repairs, her largest concern was protecting her home from the deer who came right up to her back door looking for food! Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh was able to accommodate that request, and much more!

Repairs Completed for Ms. Cotton:

  • Repaired gutters and downspouts
  • Replaced carpet and installed a handrail on the stairs
  • Removed debris from basement and applied a waterproof paint to the foundation
  • Secured the back patio and installed new storm door
  • Rebuilt a retaining wall
  • Minor plumbing repairs
  • Fresh paint throughout
