Volunteers revitalize Hurst single mother's home
SUMMARY: Residents in Taran County are receiving much-needed home improvement assistance through a program supported by private donations and local funding. This effort, led by the city of Hurst and the nonprofit group Six Stones Community Powered Revitalization (CPR), aims to enhance neighborhoods by providing home facelifts. Notably, single mother Christy Swan, a foster mom who adopted three children, benefited from the program. The volunteers and donors rejuvenated her home, including removing an old fence, trimming overgrowth, and painting. This initiative recently reached its 200th home revitalization, having helped over 800 homes in the mid-cities area.
