Repairs to Mr. & Mrs. Boyd’s manufactured home, located in Nashville, were completed in May. This case was brought to our attention, by The Greater Nashville Regional Council (area aging and disability council) to help make repairs to Mr. & Mrs. Boyd’s home.  Mr.  Boyd  is blind, an amputee, and has recently had open heart surgery. Mrs. Boyd works for Metro Davidson County as a school crossing guard, and also has taken a leave of absence from TPAC, to help care for her husband. This family is elderly and have worked hard over the years to maintain their home, but at this point in their life, they are unable to do it by themselves.

  Mr. Donald Shockley of Fleetwood Homes of Gallatin/Westmoreland, along with Linda Bloodworth, TMHA staff, visited the Boyd’s and evaluated the repairs needed, and materials required, to make the repairs.  After Mr. Shockley visited with the Boyd family, he decided to volunteer his own time to repair the home. While discussing this with Fleetwood co-workers, others decided they wanted to help.  We would like to thank those four Fleetwood employees for giving their own time to volunteer on a Saturday; Danny Denton, Jason Swindle, Chuck Lee Meador and Jeff Williams.  Also, to make things even greater, Blevins, Inc. donated all the materials for this project.  The TMHA and TMHF Board of Directors wish to thank all those who donated their time and materials!
