At Home in Berks October 2017 - 7

T

here was hardly a dry eye in the house when Jamie
Noll and her daughters returned to their newly renovated home in Ontelaunee Township and saw for the
first time the work that had been completed by volunteers
who gave of their time and resources for the Restoring Hope
Foundation of Berks County.
As Jamie hugged her daughters, Samantha, 13, and Aubrey,
8, volunteers and guests smiled and laughed, some of them
hugging, as well.
"I love everything about it," Jamie said, her face showing
her pleasure. "I love the colors. It's just beautiful."
Jamie was selected from 29 applicants for the 2017 home
makeover project, sponsored by the Home Builders Association Restoring Hope Foundation, a nonprofit led by Diane
Salks, the foundation's chairwoman.

Salks said Jamie, a single mom, was chosen for the makeover because she is a positive role model for her daughters.
Jamie works and goes to school.
The week-long makeover project was held in September,
with the family returning to their home on Sept. 16 to find a
completely renovated house.
Volunteers also landscaped the house, added a front porch
and constructed a rock garden. Renovations were valued at
$150,000.
The first Restoring Hope home renovation was completed in 2011, and one has been done every year since. Salks
thanked everyone who contributed time and materials, as
well as volunteers who provided meals and other supports.
