ELLENDALE, Del. - Jerry Guyer recently welcomed volunteers from the Catholic HEART Workcamp back to his Ellendale home for essential repairs and maintenance.
"Monday, they did all the scraping of the paint that needed to be scrapped, and Tuesday, they worked very, very hard to get all the painting done that needed to be done before the weather got bad," Guyer said.
Unfortunately, rain halted their progress, leaving some tasks incomplete.
"I was hoping they would've done the shed, but the shed was not able to get done and... the yard and the grass cutting," Guyer said.
This year's most significant project was completing a much-needed ramp.
"I'm so grateful for them to be able to come each year and help me out because I'm disabled, and I can't do the work, and you know, it really means a lot to me and my wife," Guyer said.
Despite weather-related setbacks, the volunteers' efforts have significantly impacted the Guyers.
Individuals in need of assistance next summer are encouraged to reach out. To register for help, please email Linda Darling at chwcdel@gmail.com.
