Angie's List recently sent out a request to highly-rated service professionals on the List, asking for volunteers for our next Wishmakers project.

The Vaughn family in Carmel, Indiana, was nominated by their neighbor, Peg, who knew that poor health and limited funds had prevented repairs around the Vaughn's home.

Within 30 minutes of sending the request we had calls from 3 different companies willing to donate their time, talent and materials to help a family in need! And since then, several more companies have stepped forward.

It's wonderful to see so many people willing to be generous, even in tough times.

Here's what the Wishmakers will be working on at the Vaughn's home:
  • Siding repair & replacement
  • Trim repair & paint
  • Gutter Cleaning & installation of gutter covers
  • Power washing of siding, roof, trim, gutters and concrete
  • Roof inspection and repair (if needed)

For more, check out the recent List-en! podcast on previous Wishmakers projects.
