Forward Design Build Remodel Building Hope

Donation protected





At Forward Design Build Remodel, our mission has always been to design and build beautiful spaces while providing a professional and enjoyable experience for our clients. But over the years, we’ve realized that our impact can and should go beyond the walls we renovate.

For our 2025 Pay It Forward Initiative: Building Hope, we are proud to partner with a local family facing an extraordinary challenge.
Two of their young children have been diagnosed with Friedreich’s Ataxia, a rare, progressive disease that affects muscle strength, balance, and mobility. As their children grow, their home must evolve with them, creating a safe, accessible environment that supports their daily lives and future needs.

Our Forward Design Build Remodel team, along with our trusted subcontractors and trades, are donating our time, talent, and resources to make critical renovations to their home. However, we need your support to help cover the cost of essential building materials that will make this dream a reality.

Your donations will go directly toward:

✔️ Structural changes, framing, and drywall to create accessible pathways
✔️ Plumbing and lighting fixtures to ensure safety and ease of use
✔️ Appliances and HVAC upgrades for greater functionality and comfort
✔️ Flooring and finishes that allow for wheelchair accessibility and safe mobility

A home that is safe, accessible, and functional is not a luxury for this family, it is a necessity. With your support, we can help provide a home that grows with them and gives these children the security and independence they deserve.

This project is just the beginning. Your donation today not only helps this incredible family, but strengthens our ability to continue Paying It Forward to others in need within our community. By giving today, you are not just funding a renovation—you are helping to build hope, resilience, and a future full of possibility.
Thank you for believing in the power of community and compassion.
