Last week the Luxury Link team took a day away from the offices to help build a home for a very deserving family in Los Angeles, CA.  LL team members Kristen Gathany and Daymora Pen share their experiences:

What a workout!! Just got back from a great day volunteering with Habitat for Humanity – we helped put the final touches on a home in a nearby area of Los Angeles.  The house was in its final building stages so we dug trenches for sprinklers, hauled concrete, and did some painting and tiling on the interiors as well.  Leveling and setting the big yard was definitely labor-intensive, but our group was ready for the challenge and we impressed even ourselves with the amount of work we got done.  We moved so much dirt!!

The home is painted a lovely light blue and constructed with a lot of love and dedication.  We had the privilege of meeting the wonderful lady – Betty – who will be living there along with her three children. She told us a little about herself and her family and it was clear what a positive and immediate impact this will have on her and everyone around her. It was a great experience volunteering with Habitat for Humanity (this was our first time), and we certainly look forward to volunteering with them again!
