WOBURN, MASS. (WHDH) - An electrician working on a woman’s home in Woburn was able to gather a team of volunteers together to make much-needed repairs to the structure.
Last month, the electrician was sent to Gloria Scott’s home to fix a light fixture, but realized a lot more work needed to be done. He turned to Facebook to get the community to pay for repairs.
Those who couldn’t physically give the home a face-lift donated meals and supplies to those who could, and more than $100,000 was raised for the renovations.
Scott was overwhelmed by the community support and so grateful for the home repairs.
“The people who come just to donate their time – they just walk up and say ‘What do you need, what can I do?’ I’m so so grateful, I will always be grateful,” Scott said.
Those looking to donate can do so here.
