Give George a Home

Donation protected
October 13th Update (Please read):
The faith community of Hickory has generously contributed $36,500 to the effort to Give George a Home!! With this gift, the overall need stands at $38,500 and the goal has been adjusted to reflect this.

Hi, my name is Todd Byrd. Please help me Give George a Home! George is our neighbor. He is a lifelong resident of Catawba County and has lived in Hickory for much of his adult life. George retired from Synthetic Finishing with almost 40 years of service. He lives by himself in the Kenworth neighborhood.

George needs our help. He is confined to his wheelchair, being a double above-the-knee amputee. Currently, he goes for dialysis three times each week. A tree that fell across the home almost three months ago severely damaged his mobile home. Additionally, much of the subfloor of the house is rotten. While George continues to live in the home, it isn't suitable for occupancy or repair. Sadly, George has not been able to afford insurance on the house. Community and government agencies are not able to assist for a variety of reasons.

This fundraiser is being established by a group of churches, community members, and organizations dedicated to helping. The funds provided by this campaign will purchase a 2022 2 BR/2 BA 14' x 60' mobile home. Additionally, all services required to dispose of the damaged mobile home, set up the new house, connect utilities, install HVAC service, and build a handicapped ramp for access are covered in the goal amount.

Let's Give George a Home!
