HEALTHY HOME KITS
Every home touched by RTMD receives a Healthy Home Kit. This kit is designed to be “volunteer friendly” meaning even unskilled volunteers can install all items inside. Items found in the Healthy Home Kit address fire safety and prevention, fall prevention, and other health-related issues commonly found in homes. Examples of items are grab bars, smoke detectors, levered doorknobs, and etc.
When I talk about my home, I become emotional. I consider it to be a person more than a house itself, and seeing it in distress really hurts me. It’s been like living with a sick relative who means the world to you but you cannot help. It’s heartbreaking.
