Fox59<\/a> tells the story of Michael Malone and the dozens of volunteers who helped move into his childhood home. His mother had passed recently leaving Michael as the recipient of her home, where he had been raised. But the house needed to be renovated and the Air Force veteran couldn’t afford the repairs and he eventually ended up in a shelter. <\/p>\n

But then more than 60 volunteers of the Home Depot Foundation and the Hoosier Veterans Assistance Foundation stepped up;<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat he\u2019s been through, he\u2019s had some challenges,\u201d said Matt Rice, store manager for the Castleton Home Depot. \u201cWe are helping him get back and are getting this house in shape where he can move back in and get going again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Malone says he looks forward to moving in and getting a fresh start.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited for a new leaf in life, a new fresh start,” said Malone. “I\u2019m touched by the generosity of people.”<\/p>\n

Renovations include remodeling the bathroom, installing new floors and painting the interior of the house.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m kind of overwhelmed, said Malone. “I\u2019m happy, I\u2019m sad in a sense that my mother won\u2019t be here to experience this- this was her home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Malone says he feels blessed and is grateful for the overwhelming support from the community.<\/p>\n

“This just blows me away that there are people that are really truly that kind,” said Malone. “It absolutely restores my view of humanity.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
