When I read the article in the Albert Lea Tribune announcing this area Home Makeover, I immediately contacted my Home Interiors & Gifts Unit Director in Fort Dodge, IA to have her find out if Home Interiors would be able to help out with a donation of Home Decor. The company had helped out another family 2-3 years ago on the east coast, so I thought - "If you don't ask, you won't know". Well Home Interiors responded in the affirmative!
Next the Unit Director sent out an email for the EMHE Design team to look thru the catalog on line at her website and let her know what items they would like to use. Some time went by and there wasn't an answer from the EMHE Design team. Now it's Thursday night, so I took it upon myself because I'm only 8 miles away from the build site, to go get an answer. With books in hand, my family and I drove up to the build site. They observed the building, I was on a mission to get these books to the right person to get the order in. I was put in contact with Heather from the ABC production team and she contacted Jowill. Friday morning Jowill called me and gave me a "Wish List" and I put that list in an email and sent it off to a HIG Branch Manager in Davenport IA who would have direct contact with the HIG President Robin Crossman. Ms. Crossman put into action a team who picked, packed and shipped everything on the "Wish List" order Friday afternoon for next day air freight delivery to me. By 4:30 pm Friday, we were in business! I'm looking forward to the freight arrival on Monday and taking it up to the build site. Jowill has put me on the "Move In" List. I'll be assisting with the placement of the Home Interiors and Gifts products in the home and anything else needed.
My sisters and I took my Home Interior Banner and hung it on the fencing at the build site on Saturday morning.
I'll keep you updated with information as I have it..... :)
