| Madeline is one of 43 homeowners helped by RTP volunteers this year. She is 91 years old, the matriarch of five generations, eloquent and wise. “If you love me, feed my lambs” is a favorite phrase. Watch this video made by Danielle Lessovitz. You'll get a sense of why many RTP volunteers come back year after year. Don't be surprised if you have a hankering for a grilled cheese sandwich afterwards. |
Matt was a co-leader of the West Philadelphia Block Build and a Visiting Board Member through Wharton's Nonprofit Leadership Program. Connecting with the American Legion, he found the site for the HGTV Change the World, Start at Home project. The rest is history, and it's no surprise that Matt is a “Goodwill Ambassador” volunteer award winner. Learn about the other 17 individuals and groups who won awards from RTP this year. |
Dan and his twins quickly became part of the RTP family after volunteering on April 4. Dan had made a gift to RTP's endowment, and wanted to see what they were supporting first hand. They filled the day with their kindness and good humor; later, back at home, the girls shared their experiences with their classmates. Learn more about why Dan took his daughters across the country to be part of the Germantown Block Build. |
