On September 13, 2017, Patuxent Habitat for Humanity volunteers made repairs to the main entryway at the home of an Army veteran’s wife in Prince Frederick. Ms. Willet’s husband served our country during World War II. Through our veterans critical home repair program we were able to make the most pressing repairs first. The rear entryway to her home required repair and since she uses it as her main entrance we based our efforts there. However, Ms. Willets home is in need of further repairs that will require additional funding due to the extensive scope of work. Roofing and flooring repairs are necessary as well as the need for a new handicap ramp with handrails.
