Gladys Broxie | "To have this outpouring of love is overwhelming. It’s beyond our wildest dreams." Mary Anne Skaja | ||

| "The team from Our Lady of Sorrows went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. The house captains and site coordinator, Bob and Jean McAllister and Tim Nixon helped me with everything from ideas to improve the look and function of my home down to selecting the paint colors. From someone like myself who is handicapped, their efforts were very much appreciated. They made so many updates and improvements I can’t begin to list all of them; I was simply overwhelmed when they left at the end of the day." Morris Horrie |
"This is just a Godsend to me...It's just like having a new house. I'm very, very thankful for what they did to help me...They all did such a good job. It was just fantastic." Joanna Jones |

“They are a wonderful group of people, and I think it gives you satisfaction to help someone else who maybe can’t help themselves. I like to think that if I were in need, someone would do the same for me, and you find a lot of people are very appreciative of what we do for them.” |

Community Leader Testimonials |

|
"It’s always an awesome sight when 70 people show up to help a community member by giving up their time and effort…It’s a great program for us [the City of Wixom] in that it not only helps a community member in need, but it continues to draw the community closer and build relationships among residents and city staff." Tony Nowicki, Assistant Wixom City Manager |
"I got involved when we learned about what [the organization] was doing. This represents the best of community action. It’s neighbors helping neighbors…reminiscent of the barn-raisings of past generations." U.S Representative Gary Peters (D-9th District) |
