‘My angels’: Help for senior citizen in northeast Houston still living with storm damage
SUMMARY: After recent storms and hurricanes, homeowners, especially seniors on fixed incomes, face heavy challenges in repairing their homes. The nonprofit Restoration Team is stepping up to assist families in Houston by providing free safety upgrades and repairs. One recipient, 88-year-old Leona Martinez, has struggled with home maintenance since her daughter’s help hasn’t been enough. The Restoration Team will assist in repairing her siding, painting her house, and revitalizing her overgrown garden, which has always been her passion. This initiative not only improves living conditions but also fosters community spirit through collective volunteer efforts.

After devastating blows from the derecho and Hurricane Beryl, many homeowners across the Houston area are still struggling to recover. For some, like 88-year-old Juana Martinez-Leija, the challenge of repairing and maintaining a home hit hard by the storms is too overwhelming to face alone.
