Companies join forces to help HomeAid project

-

HomeAid and Matt and Jenny Sneller of Sneller Custom Homes and Remodeling partnered with Debbie Brotsky and the 1st Texas Fire Protection team, to provide the equipment and labor to install a fire-suppressio­n system that was required for the Freedom Place recovery center.

Freedom Place offers Christ-centered care and recovery for underage female victims rescued from sex traffickin­g.

With the fire suppressio­n system installed and passing inspection, the $20,000 to $30,000 addition of the center can move forward.

“The Dream Team of Sneller Custom Homes and 1st Texas Fire Protection helped provide the girls of Freedom Place a beautiful, safe and welcoming environmen­t,” said Salty Thomason, president of HomeAid. “This center offers the first step these girls will take toward building a brighter future.”

Sneller Custom Homes and Remodeling is also part of the HomeAid team donating drywall repair and other miscellane­ous work needed to complete the project.

A portion of this housing, which is one of only five facilities in the U.S., is being underwritt­en by longtime HomeAid donor, Trendmaker Homes.

The cabin will allow eight girls to continue to heal in an environmen­t that offers more personal freedom and provides programs to help them manage their lives.

Matt Sneller’s team and Debbie Brotsky with 1st Texas Fire Protection were honored for their generosity and commitment to the project at a recent GHBA Board of Directors meeting by HomeAid Houston. “We have worked with HomeAid on several projects,” said Sneller, “so when the call came about the Freedom Place project, we were happy to be of service. These girls deserve a new life in a safe place, and we were honored to help make that happen.” About Freedom Place

When a girl arrives at Freedom Place, a team of on-site medical, mental health and education profession­als begin a comprehens­ive evaluation and prepare a personaliz­ed plan of care for each girl.

They spend approximat­ely one year in a comprehens­ive recovery program. About HomeAid Houston
