Here’s What Volunteers Said:

“Extreme Build was flexible enough for me to help a few days and

help make an impact on a family’s life.”

“It seems such a simple thing - to give something of myself to enable someone else

to have a home. I think this is a part of being the presence of Christ.”

“Extreme Build is a well organized and worthwhile project.”

“I attended last year and I went home at the end of the week with a heart

that longed to do more.”

“I attended Extreme Build to be a part of the wonderful work God was doingin the life of the Sharon family.”

“I attended Extreme Build to serve God, to help a fellow human being,

for fellowship and camaraderie.”

“After spending 10 years with Habitat for Humanity I realize the importance of home

ownership, especially for those who are trying hard but just can’t swing it.

I have seen how the Extreme build has changed the entire outlook of children

and young people, boosting their self-esteem and creating a desire to do greaterthings. It’s a great work that we do and I hope it will continue ad infinitum.”

“It was a part of our mission trip. I thought the idea was interesting but was unsure

of why we should go ‘all that way.’ Boy was I surprised. Not only was the distance

well worth the drive, but the people we met were just super.”

Meet Paula Sharon

Paula Sharon is raising two sons - Travis (13) and Steven (20). She is a hard

worker and committed mother. A few years ago Paula, Travis, and Steven left

everything and started over without a place to live or much of anything to call

their own. Paula found the courage and determination to leave an abusive

relationship to move herself and her sons toward a safer environment. She has

saved and provided for the family on her own - working for six years at the

Farm House Inn at Parker’s Lake. With the help of her father, Paula bought an

acre of land where she dreamt of “building a home where my son can have thefreedom he needs to be a child, a place to love and cherish.” With the help of

so many faithful KBF partner partners, Paula and her family achieved this

dream in 2009.
