Cornerstone Restoration exists to build meaningful relationships between our vulnerable neighbors and volunteer community through construction-related projects.
-
All it takes is a heart ready to serve. No special skills or experience are needed, just a willing spirit and the openness to jump in where help is needed most. Serve Days are usually a great opportunity for kids around age 10 and up, and our team would love to help you discern the best fit for each project.
-
We stand with the vulnerable and the forgotten. We serve neighbors facing hardship, isolation, and instability with the love of Christ and the care of a committed community.
-
We restore homes, strengthen hearts, and rebuild hope. Our Serve Days put the love of Christ into action through meaningful projects ranging from yard work and painting to building homes and serving in large community projects in impoverished or isolated communities.
Upcoming Serve Days
Ms. Diana
Ms. Diana and her husband are raising two vibrant daughters in a home that should be a place of safety, joy, and stability. Unfortunately, flooring that was improperly installed several years ago has caused significant damage to the subfloor and the vinyl plank flooring itself. Floors throughout their mobile home are now buckling and collapsing, creating dangerous living conditions for the entire family - and they lack the means to take care of repairs of this magnitude.
Meaningful restoration does not always happen in a single day. The repairs at Ms. Diana’s home are being addressed over several phases. As such, the CR team will return to continue working on the damaged and collapsing floors that extend throughout several areas of the family’s home.
This project has required significant skilled labor, materials, and perseverance. Therefore, please continue praying for this loving family and for the Lord to provide these and the financial resources necessary to complete the work with excellence. Donations toward plywood, flooring, adhesives, fasteners, trim, subfloor sheets, disposal costs, and other construction expenses will help us continue the project without placing a financial burden on the family.
Whether this is your first day at Diana’s home or you are returning to continue what was started, your presence matters and is very much appreciated.
Let’s faithfully keep showing up while remembering that Christ is the true Restorer and the only One worthy of praise!
Ms. Kay
Ms. Kay is an elderly widow and devoted follower of Christ who lives in a tiny home on her family’s property in Manchaca, surrounded by people who deeply love both her and the Lord - a family whose story will instantly capture your heart. Health challenges, recent loss, and various other difficult circumstances have taken their toll on this family, and Ms. Kay’s tiny home was in need of some much-needed attention, including leveling the structure, insulating exposed pipes, painting the exterior, and other needed repairs.
The CR team has had the pleasure of going out to Ms. Kay's a couple of times over the past few months to meet some of those needs. However, beyond the physical work at hand, a beautiful opportunity manifested to come alongside this amazing neighbor and her family to provide prayer, fellowship, and encouragement, and to demonstrate what it truly means to bear one another's burdens as the body of Christ!
Our team will now go back out there once again to finish up some painting and a few other touch ups. But more importantly, it will serve as another opportunity to love on Ms. Kay and remind her that she is not forgotten.
Bring your servant’s hands and a willing heart ready to love this family boldly. And may every every brush stroke and every encouraging conversation testify to the goodness of Christ alone!
Ms. Amy
Ms. Amy is a single mother in Kingsland, TX who has dedicated her life to helping children and families navigate some of their hardest moments through her work in foster care... all while quietly carrying her own significant trauma, loss, and heartbreak, including losing her younger brother.
Recently, extensive mold was discovered throughout her bathroom and on multiple walls and surfaces in her home, creating an urgent health and safety issue for her and her son that she simply does not have the financial resources to address on her own. Asking for help does not come naturally to Ms. Amy, as she is used to being the one who shows up to help others. But right now, she and her son need someone to show up for them.
The CR team is ready to step in to install new flooring and a new toilet in the bathroom, repair walls and trim, and address other flooring issues throughout the home, but we need your hands and your heart to make it happen! Her son deserves a safe place to sleep, grow, and feel secure, and together we have the opportunity to give that to him and to show this selfless, hard-working, single mom that she is seen, loved, and not forgotten.
Please prayerfully consider joining us to pour out the love of Christ on this deserving family, because sometimes the ones who spend their lives helping others need someone to help them too!
Ms. Krista
Join us as we step out to be the hands and feet of Jesus for our neighbor, Ms. Krista, in South Austin!
Krista has been a beloved part of her neighborhood for 35 years. Following the heartbreaking loss of her daughter two years ago, the daily upkeep of her home has become an overwhelming burden. As a wheelchair user, she is facing physical barriers to keeping up with heavy maintenance, but her deepest desire is to prepare a spare room for a future roommate to bring both financial relief and life-giving community into her home.
Our team is stepping in to show God’s tangible love through heavy labor and home restoration. On this Serve Day, we will be installing brand-new flooring to replace stained carpeting, painting her front porch, and tackling yard cleanup and deep cleaning. Our prayer is that every hammer swung and every room prepared will not only restore her physical home but bring deep spiritual encouragement, comfort, and a reminder that the Lord sees her and cares for her. Come ready to work, laugh, and watch God move!

Bertram First Baptist Church
This extended project has been a wonderful opportunity to work alongside a CR church partner and others within the community to help provide the congregation with additional spaces to further God's kingdom. Praise the Lord that for allowing the CR family to be used in this way!
The CR team has been teaming up with Volunteer Christian Builders (VCB) over the past few months to construct additional classrooms and offices, leveraging solid construction experience from various VCB and CR volunteers. However, opportunity also exists for those that have a willing heart to learn and to use their hands and talent to advance this important work.
This project is unique, as we have come together to serve this congregation for several consecutive days during various weeks. This go around, the CR team will help with suspended ceiling work that is being done in the new building additions.
Please prayerfully consider volunteering for this great service opportunity to really dig in and make an impact for our church family in Bertram. You can come for the whole day or stay as long as you’d like! Along the way, you will most likely get to enjoy some wonderful fellowship and food as well!
Jarrel & Angela
Jarrel and Angela are a sweet, elderly couple that the CR team has served many times in the past. And now, we want to bless them even more!
The CR team previously restored their home exterior, their water well, and removed mountains of debris from around the home to make things safer for them. We now want to go back and make some repairs to their living space(s) and continue to remove dead tree limbs that are dangerous around their property.
If you haven't made it out to their home before, you will be surprised by the blessing of encouragement that you get from serving this wonderful couple!
Let's come out to continue to show the love of Christ to these wonderful neighbors of ours!
Ms. Kim
Ms. Kim is a widow whose home was deeply affected by the 2025 Sandy Creek floods. Despite everything she has walked through, Ms. Kim’s faith has remained incredibly strong, persevering and trusting in the Lord.
While she did receive help with several needs, the deck behind her home remained structurally compromised and very unsafe. However, the Lord put the resources together this past August and September and brought a very skilled group of volunteers and craftsman to completely rebuild her deck! Now we just need to put some finishing touches on the carpentry and apply sealer and stain to the new wood.
Ms. Kim has such strong faith despite her circumstances, and such an amazing testimony that you will not walk away without feeling blessed by getting to know her. Please join us, no special skills required on this day, just the ability to spread the love of Christ and be His hands and feet!
Let’s finish the work, encourage Ms. Kim, and celebrate what Christ accomplishes when His people faithfully respond to His call. All glory belongs to Him!
Financial gifts will also help recover the cost of lumber, hardware, protective coatings, and final materials used to complete this project.
Red Oak Hope
Red Oak Hope is a non-profit ministry that provides holistic care, healing, and transitional housing to survivors of abuse and human trafficking.
They are in the process of building a sensory garden in the back of the property to help with recovery. As part of that larger project, the CR team wants to bless this amazing ministry with a wood fence for the property, which will give a sense of privacy and security to the ladies living there.
It is hard not to see God at work when volunteers serve another ministry in need, especially when the "why" behind the work is so loving and compassionate to the exceptionally vulnerable in our community!
We will be working here on both Thursday and Saturday of this week – and there is lots to do for everyone, regardless of skill level!
+ An additional confidentiality waiver will be requested of each volunteer on site.

Mr. Lee
Mr. Lee is a veteran, father, and follower of Christ that has some health issues and significant needs on his property to restore safety and dignity.
When the rains came last year, his home couldn't handle the deluge, and he and his daughter and grandson have been displaced ever since. Recently, the CR team built a ramp for him to safely access his trailer and also started a cleanup project – allowing his family to see hope restored where before there was only heartache.
Debris from the flood and overgrowth around their living space have overtaken the property. The CR team will come alongside this family once again to help restore their property to a safe space for them to live, play, and thrive. We will continue the work of removing the overgrowth, brush, and debris from around the property.
Bring your willing hands and long pants so we can restore a sense of peace to this family, and continue to pour out the love of Christ!

Mr. Jeremy
Mr. Jeremy is a brother in Christ and a chaplain within the TDCJ prison system. Last year, he and his family suffered a devastating total loss of their home from a house fire. We have been praying for them diligently as they have gone through this very difficult season of life.
Now, the family has finally rebuilt their home alongside assistance that God has provided, but as finances are squeezed, there are parts that are still missing. The CR team has been led to step into meeting some of those needs through various indoor construction projects around the house. Some of the project include: trim work, installing faucets and toilets, tile work, installing fans and lights, minor electrical work, and building of stairs.
If you are wanting to put your various skills to use, or if you would like to learn, this would be a great way to be a part of this family's healing and restoration in their season of need.
Let’s come out to help this servant family and to celebrate the Lord’s goodness and provision!

Reynosa
Reynosa Serve Trip - Make a Difference in your life and in the lives of these children!
Cornerstone is heading back to Reynosa!
We’re excited to announce that Cornerstone Restoration is teaming up once again with our long-time ministry partner, Rio Bravo Ministries to serve the community of Reynosa, Mexico.
Rio Bravo provides a safe, faith-based home for children who have been abandoned, abused, or neglected. At any given time, around 60+ children live on campus, cared for by loving house parents. Rio Bravo has also built schools—from elementary through high school—serving not only the children on-site but the wider Reynosa community.
Work to Be Done:
The upstairs apartments are basically complete, with just a few small touch-ups remaining. Therefore, the CR team's primary construction focus for this trip will be the “Abuelos” House, which we will be working to make usable for visiting groups now, while also preparing it to become living space in the future. Thus, our work should include:
Building out an additional bathroom area with 2 toilets & 2 showers, including the necessary drainage
Installing a 4-bowl sink countertop
Removing doors and repairing damaged interior walls
Interior painting
Replacing rotting exterior wood panels and repainting the exterior
Replacing exterior lighting and electrical connections with proper exterior fixtures
Finishing some smaller touch-up items around the property
All skill levels and trades are needed! If you have a willing heart and a desire to serve, there’s a place for you on this team.
General Information about Serve Trips here.
The cost for this trip is $400 per person. Once you register you will receive a separate email with a payment link.
If you are in need of a scholarship, please email volunteer@cornerstonerestoration.org
This trip does require that you have a current basic Background Check which CR will provide. Once you register, if we do not have one on file a link will be sent to you to complete your background check. Questions, please email us.
*** In the event that you are no longer able to attend the trip that you registered and paid for, we encourage you to pay your trip cost forward to someone else. If that is unsatisfactory, a full refund is allowed up to 2 weeks in advance of the trip's start date. ***
Frank & BJ
This faithful, elderly couple and their extended family are struggling with a home that is in desperate need of some repairs and maintenance that are beyond their physical ability to accomplish.
Mr. Frank is an accomplished handyman. However, he is currently battling Alzheimer's Disease. This family needs our help to fix some rotting trim on the exterior of the house and trimming of dead tree limbs that are threatening the house.
This is a beautiful example of brothers and sisters in Christ that need Christ's church body to come alongside them to meet some urgent physical needs. Let's show up and show them the love of Jesus as we seek to prevent further deterioration of their home!
Ms. Brucha
Ms. Brucha's story during the past several months is interwoven with CR volunteers coming alongside her for both physical projects and the CR Care Team. She had recently faced multiple life events, tragedy, and problems with her family home.
In addition to the home repair and care assistance Ms. Brucha had been receiving, she was in urgent and imminent need of a full roof replacement, after past storms caused catastrophic roof failure with water entering at multiple points in her home.
The good news is that the Lord was obviously pursuing her - as His love, provision, and community rallied around her! After much prayer, our wonderful partner, Waypoint Roofing of Dripping Springs, generously offered to donate and install a brand-new roof... what a blessing!
But before the roof can be installed, the CR team must take care of some repairs to the fascia boards and framing around the roof. So, please consider joining us in person and in prayer, as we continue sharing the gospel with Ms. Brucha and meeting some of her home repair needs in this season of challenges.
Come meet this wonderful neighbor as we work to provide her with safety, comfort, and the peace that only the Lord provides!
Bertram First Baptist Church
7am or 9am - 3pm (depending on the day)
This is a wonderful opportunity to work alongside a CR church partner and others within the community to help provide the congregation with additional spaces to further God's kingdom.
The CR team will be teaming up with Volunteer Christian Builders (VCB) to construct additional classrooms and offices. A great need exists for people that can help frame and deck the roof as trusses are installed.
This project is unique, as we come together to serve this congregation for several consecutive days during this week.
If you are available for multiple days, this is a great service opportunity to really dig in and make an impact for our church family in Bertram!

Ms. Kim is a widow whose home was deeply affected by the 2025 Sandy Creek floods. Despite everything she has walked through, Ms. Kim’s faith has remained incredibly strong, and her testimony is one of perseverance and trust in the Lord.
While she did receive help with several needs, the deck behind her home remained structurally compromised and very unsafe. However, the CR team recently had the privilege of coming alongside Ms. Kim to begin to repair and restore her deck. Now, we will return to Kim’s home to finish restoring her deck and make sure it is safe, stable, and ready to serve her well for years to come.
Finishing matters. We do not want to simply begin a project and move on. We want to serve with excellence, follow through on our commitments, and leave Ms. Kim with a space that reflects how deeply she is valued by Christ. You will certainly be blessed by getting to know her!
Volunteers will work diligently to install decking boards, apply stain, and put the finishing touches on the deck. If you have carpentry skills, or want to learn some, please join us on this project. Financial gifts will help recover the cost of lumber, hardware, protective coatings, and final materials used to complete the project.
Let’s finish the work, encourage Ms. Kim, and celebrate what Christ accomplishes when His people faithfully respond to His call. All glory belongs to Him!

Ms. Estela
Ms. Estela is a grandmother, retired since 2015, who lives with her daughter and granddaughter on a simple, peaceful property in the flood-affected area of Leander. She identifies herself as being religious and participates in a lot of volunteer work. Her daughter has also been a big part of helping out with flood recovery efforts in the area since last year.
When recovery started after the July 2025 floods, Ms. Estela unfortunately had several bad experiences with contractors that took advantage of the funds she received for flood assistance. This left her with several problems that were not taken care of and that she simply couldn’t manage on her own.
We would like to ensure that her home is safe from the elements and prevent any further water intrusion by continuing the repairs we started in June. We will work on some exterior siding, flashing, and some interior subfloor damage.
Come join us to show the love of Christ to this wonderful neighbor in need!

WILCO Women’s Center
WILCO Women’s Center is a faith-based ministry in Georgetown, TX providing pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, compassionate support, education, and life-affirming alternatives to women facing difficult and often overwhelming decisions.
The Lord is blessing this ministry with rapid growth, and exciting plans are moving forward to expand its ability to care for women and families. While that larger vision develops, Cornerstone Restoration has an immediate opportunity to help improve the current property by creating additional parking and completing much-needed landscaping.
Financial partners can help provide donations to purchase the stone for borders, commercial weed barrier, landscape staples, edging, fuel, equipment, and other materials needed to complete the project. Donations toward this serve day will help WILCO Women’s Center direct more of its resources toward caring for the women and families it serves.
This will be a big day requiring many hands, strong backs, joyful attitudes, and hearts ready to serve another ministry doing important Kingdom work. May the finished space welcome every woman with dignity and compassion, and may Christ alone receive the glory for bringing His people and resources together!

Ms. Susan
Ms. Susan is a widow who inherited her family home, along with years of maintenance needs and damage that have become more than she can physically or financially address on her own. Despite these challenges, Susan has continued to express her gratitude and her unwavering faith that God sees her, hears her prayers, and will provide a way forward. Cornerstone Restoration now has the privilege of becoming part of His provision as the body of Christ rallies around her.
After focusing on several repairs inside Ms. Susan’s home this past Thursday, the CR team will return Saturday to turn our attention to the property outside. Susan has beautiful trees and a yard with tremendous potential, but both have become difficult for her to maintain. We will trim trees, remove overgrowth, clean up debris, and help restore an outdoor space she can once again enjoy and manage safely.
This will be a wonderful opportunity for volunteers of many ages and experience levels to serve together. Donations will help to cover the cost of landscaping tools, equipment rentals, hauling and disposal costs, mulch, trimming supplies, and other materials needed for the day.
Bring your gloves, yard favorite yard tools, strong backs, and joyful hearts as we continue reminding Susan that she is seen and loved. May our service reflect Christ’s love clearly, with every bit of praise returning to Him!

Despite these challenges, Susan has continued to express her gratitude and her unwavering faith that God sees her, hears her prayers, and will provide a way forward. Cornerstone Restoration now has the privilege of becoming part of His provision as the body of Christ rallies around her.
This will involve several large serve days focused on home repairs, including damage in one of the bedrooms and several other needs throughout the property. We will need skilled volunteers, willing learners, prayer warriors, and people ready to work hard and love well.
Financial gifts will help to purchase lumber, drywall, paint, flooring, hardware, repair supplies, and any professional assistance needed to complete the work properly.
Susan is also known for making incredible peach tea, so come early, bring your energy, and prepare for a joyful day of restoration and fellowship. Above all, let’s make certain that our service directs every heart toward Christ, who sees Susan, hears her prayers, and alone deserves the glory!
Ms. Kim
Ms. Kim is a widow whose home was deeply affected by the 2025 Sandy Creek floods. Despite everything she has walked through, Kim’s faith has remained incredibly strong, and her testimony is one of perseverance and trust in the Lord.
While she has received help with several needs, the deck behind her home remains structurally compromised and unsafe. We have the privilege of coming alongside Kim to repair and restore her deck, creating a safe and welcoming space for her once again. We believe volunteers will arrive ready to serve her but will actually leave deeply encouraged by the opportunity to know her.
Whether you have carpentry experience or simply a willing heart and a desire to learn, there is a place for you on this project. Financial partners can help provide funds for pressure-treated lumber, decking, structural hardware, screws, concrete, disposal costs, and the other materials required to make the deck safe.
Be part of restoring safety and dignity to a wonderful neighbor while celebrating the steadfast faithfulness of Christ. May every part of this project bring glory to Him alone!
Ms. Diana
Ms. Diana and her husband are raising two vibrant daughters in a home that should be a place of safety, joy, and stability. Unfortunately, flooring that was improperly installed several years ago has caused significant subfloor damage. Floors throughout their mobile home are now buckling and collapsing, creating dangerous living conditions for the entire family.
Meaningful restoration does not always happen in a single day. The repairs at Ms. Diana’s home require several phases, so the CR team will return to continue addressing the damaged and collapsing floors throughout her family’s home. Our priority remains creating a safe bedroom for their daughter, but the flooring problems extend into several areas and will require significant labor, materials, and perseverance.
Please continue praying for this loving family and for the Lord to provide the subfloor, flooring, skilled volunteers, and financial resources needed to complete the work. Donations toward plywood, flooring, adhesives, fasteners, trim, disposal costs, and other construction expenses will help us continue the project without placing a financial burden on the family.
Whether this is your first day at Diana’s home or you are returning to continue what was started, your presence matters. Let’s faithfully keep showing up while remembering that Christ is the true Restorer and the only One worthy of praise!
Ms. Anne
Ms. Anne is a wonderful single mother with a big heart, who has poured precious time into making her house a home over the years - doing many projects herself with creativity and inspiration and love for her family and others. As the years passed, however, parts of her house succumbed to the elements, and Cornerstone Restoration was blessed to walk alongside Anne and her family previously to assist with plumbing and carpentry needs in their Spicewood home.
Now, once again, the Lord has called us to Anne’s home to share His love and to be a living expression of His Word by showing up, serving faithfully, and loving her family boldly. We are grateful for the opportunity to return to continue bringing greater safety and stability through additional carpentry work, debris cleanup, yard assistance, and other potential improvements. We are especially excited to welcome one of our new church partners and members of their congregation as we serve together as one body in Christ. What a beautiful opportunity to build new relationships while rallying around a family in our own community.
Financial gifts will allow CR to purchase lumber, hardware, disposal supplies, landscaping materials, and whatever additional resources are identified through the final scope.
Please begin praying now that Christ would be clearly seen and experienced through every volunteer, every conversation, every act of generosity, and every moment spent with Anne and her family. He alone deserves the glory for all that is accomplished!
Mr. Joe
Mr. Joe and his family live in the Dripping Springs area. He is a faithful spiritual leader, and a tremendous encouragement to many people throughout the community.
The back door of their home is in significant need of repair, and we have the joyful opportunity to step in before the damage becomes worse. This is our chance to bless a family that continually pours into others and to remind them that those who spend their lives serving the Lord also need to be surrounded and cared for by the body of Christ.
Volunteers can help with the removal, repair, and installation work.
Let’s show up with gratitude and love, not to draw attention to ourselves, but to encourage this family and bring honor to the Christ they so faithfully serve!
Ms. Kay
Ms. Kay is an elderly widow and devoted follower of Christ who lives in a tiny home on her family’s property in Manchaca, surrounded by people who deeply love both her and the Lord - a family whose story will instantly capture your heart. Health challenges and various difficult circumstances have taken their toll on this family, and Ms. Kay’s tiny home is now in need of some much-needed attention, including leveling the structure, insulating exposed pipes, painting the exterior, and other needed repairs.
But beyond the physical work at hand, this is a beautiful opportunity to come alongside this family to provide prayer, fellowship, and encouragement, and to demonstrate what it truly means to bear one another's burdens as the body of Christ!
There is room for many skill levels on this project. Financial partners can also help provide leveling materials, pipe insulation, paint, fasteners, and the other supplies needed to complete the work safely and well.
Bring your tools, your servant’s hands, and a willing heart ready to love this family boldly. May every repaired board, every brush stroke, and every encouraging conversation testify to the goodness of Christ alone!
Dual Serve Day
Ms. Lorraine and her family faithfully devoted many years of their lives to serving as missionaries in New Guinea. Today, she lives in Northwest Austin with her husband and their son, Neil. Recently, their water heater reached the end of its life. Now, Cornerstone Restoration has the privilege of sending brothers and sisters in Christ to install a new water heater and bless a family that has spent so much of its life serving others. Those fortunate enough to spend time with Lorraine may also hear incredible stories of God’s faithfulness on the mission field!
We are praying for the Lord to provide a replacement water heater, the installation materials, and the skilled volunteers needed to complete the work. Those who do not have plumbing experience can still participate through prayer or by donating financially toward the purchase and installation of the new unit.
Let’s surround these faithful servants with love and care, giving all glory to Christ for the opportunity to serve those who have spent so many years making Him known around the world!
Mr. Felix is an elderly neighbor who has endured several surgeries over the past few months. He is a joyful man who loves people—and especially loves having people pray with him. Currently, he has a leaking pipe outside his home that needs to be repaired before it causes additional damage or sends his water bill beyond what he can reasonably manage. This may appear to be a smaller repair, but it is a meaningful opportunity to protect his home, relieve a financial burden, and remind him that he has not been forgotten.
Volunteers with plumbing experience are needed, and financial gifts will help cover repair materials and any unexpected needs uncovered during the work.
Come ready to repair a leak, share encouragement, and pray with a wonderful neighbor. May everything that is accomplished point Felix and all of us toward the kindness and provision of Christ!
Ms. Jowers
For over a year, CR has been praying for God to provide a way to help Annette, a devoted widow, mother, and grandmother, whose late husband submitted a project request to CR asking for help for his family even as his own health was failing – a final, selfless act of love that has stayed with us ever since. When we visited Annette after his passing, we found a woman of deep faith, pressing through challenge after challenge with a trusting heart, living in a home whose problems would require a mosaic of professional partners, generous donors, faithful volunteers, and persistent prayer to solve.
We believe God has been faithfully assembling a mosaic of brothers and sisters in Christ guided by the Holy Spirit, and the time has finally come to begin work on Annette’s home!
Before the heavy-duty restoration begins — which will ultimately touch nearly every functional component of the home, including roofing, electrical, plumbing, windows, floors, and both interior and exterior work — we need a day to clear debris, remove vegetation, and prepare the property so the path ahead is unobstructed. Most importantly, this first Serve Day will be a beautiful opportunity for the entire CR team to gather around Annette, pray with her, and remind her that she is deeply loved and that this restoration is a gift sent directly from God!
Please prayerfully consider joining us as a volunteer or donor — trust us, you will want to be a part of what God is about to do in Annette’s life and home!
Ms. Diana
Diana and her husband are raising two vibrant daughters in a home that should be a place of safety, joy, and stability. Unfortunately, flooring that was improperly installed several years ago has caused significant subfloor damage. Floors throughout their mobile home are now buckling and collapsing, creating dangerous living conditions for the entire family. Our first priority will be their daughter’s bedroom, where the damage is most severe and the floor has become especially unsafe. This is a substantial repair that the family cannot carry on its own, but we trust Christ to provide through His people.
Please pray for Diana and her family, for wisdom as we uncover the full extent of the damage, and for the Lord to provide every volunteer and resource needed. We have a significant need for subfloor sheets, new flooring, fasteners, and other construction materials. Those unable to serve in person can still come alongside this family by donating toward the materials and project expenses. Every gift, regardless of size, helps us create a safer home while demonstrating the compassion of Christ.
Let’s come together with willing hands and humble hearts, trusting that Christ alone will receive the glory through every part of this restoration!
Ms. Kena
CR is no stranger to Ms. Kena, a hard-working widow and cancer survivor. When she had holes in the floor, water damage, and a cracked tub, CR volunteers stepped in and faithfully walked alongside her to restore safety and peace to her home. Through that experience and along with help from the CR Care team, Ms. Kena fell in love with the CR mission, its volunteers, and the community, and can now often be found at Bible study enjoying fellowship with other CR ladies!
Ms. Kena has since become a devoted volunteer herself, faithfully using her gifts to serve others – which makes it such a joy to now turn around and bless her once again! Her property has an abundance of growth (overgrowth!) and is in need of a good yard cleanup. We want to bless her with this cleanup and getting some things done that she just cannot tackle on her own.
Please prayerfully consider joining us to roll up our sleeves and show this faithful sister in Christ the same love and care she so freely pours out on others!
Ms. Estela
Ms. Estela is a grandmother, retired since 2015, who lives with her daughter and granddaughter on a simple, peaceful property in the flood-affected area of Leander. When recovery started after the July 2025 floods, Ms. Estela unfortunately had several bad experiences with contractors that took advantage of the funds she received for flood assistance. This left her with several problems that she just simply couldn’t manage on her own.
The CR team will continue the repairs (exterior siding, flashing, and interior subfloor damage) started in June, to ensure that Ms. Estela’s home is safe from the elements and to prevent any further water intrusion.
Please prayerfully consider helping this wonderful neighbor in need by volunteering to serve and/or providing donations to assist with the restoration efforts. Let’s show Ms. Estela what the love of Christ in action can accomplish!
Lee Croxten
Mr. Lee is a retired veteran, father, grandfather, and follower of Christ that has some health issues and significant needs on his property to restore safety and dignity. When the flood rains came last year, his home couldn't handle the deluge, and he and family have been displaced ever since.
Recently, the CR volunteer team built a ramp for him to safely access his trailer and also started a cleanup project around his property. Mr. Lee and his family saw hope restored where before there was only overwhelming heartache.
We are going back to finish the general property cleanup and to remind this family that when God mobilizes his body, things that seem big to us are easy for Him! We will work on debris removal, brush chipping, and cutting back overgrown vegetation and trees.
Please come out to help this wonderful neighbor in need and brother in Christ - and prayerfully consider donating funds to help with the vast restoration process ahead!
