Randolph Wilson hopes that monetary donations will pick back up so the parking lot and driveway at Rebuilding Hope can be repaved.
It’s called Project “Roll On” and the goal is a lofty one – it’s going to cost about $100,000 to complete.
Right now, the fund is sitting at $12,000, and Wilson, founder of the non-profit located on Raleigh Road, hopes the community will help.
The fundraising campaign launched in late September, and the hope was to get started on the worst areas by springtime.
In a letter to volunteers and to other supporters last fall, Wilson said he hopes to “gain support in acquiring much needed funds to repair the damaged pavement around our building. The parking lot and driveways are in real need of resurfacing to prevent damage to vehicles and also (to) allow proper drainage away from the building,” he stated.
Rebuilding Hope, Wilson said, has always been funded solely from individuals, churches, and business entities. “We must ask our faithful community once again to help us continue this good work. These are very difficult times for many people simply trying to afford housing, food and basic needs. We need to secure this ministry’s ability to respond to people with hope, by repairing this damage.”
The Rebuilding Hope ministry was founded in 2006 following a deployment to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.
