It wasn't long ago a home on Columbia Drive was slated for demolition. Now, it's almost move-in ready for a formerly homeless local veteran.
“We take homes in the community that have been abandoned and we completely remodel them and then furnish them for a previously homeless veteran," Scot Rhoda, founder and CEO of Ride With Valor said.Dozens of volunteers gathered at the home Friday, to spruce up everything including the roof, bathrooms, cabinets and backyard.
Thompson, a father of almost-two-year-old twins, served in the Army, Navy, and Merchant Marines, and admits reintegration was not easy for him. The renovation comes as the nonprofit recently received a $1 million grant to help area veterans, who meet income requirements, with safety, energy saving and accessibility upgrades to their homes.
Funding for the nonprofit comes from donations including The Home Depot Foundation, Cuyahoga Land Bank and other local companies."You keep hope and believe in something greater than yourself and people like this showup and come to your aid," Thompson said."That's all that really matters."
