Dripping Springs Hometown Missions, in collaboration with members of the Dripping Springs community, is gearing up for what they’re referring to as “Demolition Day” for Nora Salazar, her daughter Victoria and her two grandchildren.
Scheduled for Saturday, April 13, at 8 a.m., this event marks the beginning of the transformative 'Home in a Month' project for the Salazars. Before the work starts, attendees will gather for a blessing of the start of the project at approximately 7:45 am.
The 'Home in a Month' initiative, organized by the nonprofit organization Dripping Springs Hometown Missions, embodies the spirit of community and compassion, aiming to provide a new home for the Salazar family in a month’s time. Through the combined efforts of volunteers, donors and local organizations, Dripping Springs Hometown Missions seeks to make a tangible difference in the lives of those in need.
The Salazars have faced significant challenges, including housing instability, and Dripping Springs Hometown Missions recognizes the importance of providing them with a safe and stable environment to thrive. Demolition Day signifies the first step toward achieving this goal, as volunteers will come together to clear the way for a new beginning.
'We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support from the Dripping Springs community and surrounding areas,' said Chris Kelker- Newlan, operations manager of Dripping Springs Hometown Missions. 'Demolition Day marks the beginning of a journey that will positively impact the lives of the Salazar family. Together, we will build more than just a house; we will build hope and a brighter future in a safe and healthy home.'
Demolition Day will take place at the site of the current family home, located at 401 Ramirez Lane in Dripping Springs.
