10th Operation Finally Home Project Now Underway
A Town Hall Meeting was held on Aug. 12 to call for donations and discuss details for the Association’s next Operation Finally Home project to build a mortgage-free custom home for a deserving American hero.
Approximately 30 individuals attended the meeting.
This is the tenth home the Dallas BA has been a part of and the fourth house being constructed in Irving. By council vote, the City of Irving has donated multiple lots to Operation Finally Home for first responders and U.S. military veterans.
Axiom Builders volunteered to lead the construction of this home a few short months ago. During this time, they have submitted a budget, managed the donations, and had plans drawn to incorporate the needs of the recipient, who will not be disclosed until the surprise reveal is held.
The home consists of four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a two-car garage, and is 2,547 square feet. Special considerations include a wheelchair charging station in the garage and many other ADA features.
During the meeting, Sheena Beaver and Ronnie Lyles with Operation Finally Home shared details of the selected recipient and the numerous awards and medals they have received throughout their career. The next steps forward will include a recipient surprise and groundbreaking event, Notes of Love event and, lastly, the home dedication.
Stay tuned for announcements through Association communications DallasBuilders.org. In the meantime, we are accepting material, services, and monetary donations for Project #10. If you are interested in donating to this project, please contact Wendy Cook at 214-615-3881.
