A tree had fallen and damaged the roof, sections of the floor were missing and he had no insulation or heat. Due to code enforcement, the home was deemed \u2018uninhabitable\u2019 by the building department. City officials begin to work on trying to find a way to help Mr. Verschoor keep his home.<br \/>\nFirst Story and Hayden Homes are proud and excited to partner and help rebuild Mr. Verschoor\u2019s home. This project is a demonstration of the community\u2019s collaborative philanthropy, allowing the veteran to remain on his property where he has resided for 42 years. The wall raising event was a significant milestone in the journey of re-building this home. During the event the attendees had the opportunity to raise the very first walls of the home and write encouraging messages to the veteran on the beams of the walls which will then become part of the home forever.<br \/>\nThe completed home was dedicated to the well deserving veteran at a special ceremony on May 23rd. He was welcomed into his new home by the community, neighbors and numerous partners. Here are a few photos of the wonderful celebration and the activities leading up to the dedication!<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Collage.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17561 size-full\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Collage.jpg\" alt=\"Helping to rebuild a Veteran's Home\" width=\"1275\" height=\"1005\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Together, with our community partners, including the City of Medford and First Story helped a Vietnam Veteran re-build his home.
