Cornerstone Restoration

Lee is a veteran, father, and follower of Christ that has some significant health issues and needs on his property to restore safety and dignity. When the rains came last year, his home couldn't handle the deluge and he and his daughter and grandchildren have been displaced ever since. Debris from the flood and overgrowth around their living space have overtaken the property. We want to come alongside this family to help restore their property to a safe space for them to live, play, and thrive. We will work to remove overgrowth, brush, and debris. Bring your willing hands and long pants so we can restore a sense of peace to this family. See website for support and volunteer details.

Diana and her husband are struggling with floors that are buckling and collapsing throughout their home. They are a wonderful family with 2 vibrant daughters that are active playing sports and growing up fast. Several years ago, they paid to what they had to have some work done fixing up their mobile home, but some improper floor installation led to major issues with their subfloor, which has destroyed their vinyl plank flooring. They lack the means for a repair of this magnitude, and the floor is very unsafe in its current state. Our hearts go out to them as it is so heartbreaking to see their joyful home deteriorate to such a condition after they worked so hard to fix everything. We are continuing work to repair the subfloor in multiple rooms of the house. Please join us in prayer for this loving family, and if you feel led to donate materials or funds to this campaign, there is a big need for subfloor sheets and new flooring throughout. See website for support and volunteer details.

Jarell in SW Austin- Jarrel and Angela are a sweet elderly couple that we have served in the past, and we want to bless them more. We have previously restored their home exterior, their water well, and removed mountains of debris from around the home to make things safer for them. We want to go back and make some repairs to their living space and continue to remove dead tree limbs that are dangerous around their property. If you haven't made it out to their home before, you will be surprised by the blessing of encouragement that you get from serving this wonderful couple. See website for support and volunteer details.

Jeremy in Paige- Jeremy is a brother in Christ and is a chaplain within the TDCJ prison system. Last year, his family suffered a devastating total loss of their home from a house fire. We have been praying for them diligently as they have gone through this very difficult period. They have rebuilt their home alongside assistance that God provided, but as finances are squeezed, there are parts that are still missing. CR has been led to meet one of those needs through construction of a deck on the back of the house. If you are wanting to put some carpentry skills to use, or if you would like to learn, this would be a great way to be a part of this family's healing and restoration in their season of need. See website for support and volunteer details.

Frank and BJ in Buda- This faithful elderly couple and their extended family are struggling with a home that is in desperate need of some repairs and maintenance that are beyond their physical ability to accomplish. Frank is an accomplished handyman, but is battling Alzheimer's and they need our help to fix some rotting trim on the outside of the house and trimming of dead tree limbs that are threatening the house. This is a beautiful example of brothers and sisters in Christ that need Christ's church body to come alongside them to meet some urgent physical needs to prevent deterioration of their home. See website for support and volunteer details.

Brucha's story during the past several months is interwoven with volunteers on both physical projects and the CR Care team. Brucha has recently faced multiple life events, tragedy, and problems with her family home. The good news is that the Lord is obviously pursuing her as his provision, community, and love has rallied around her. In addition to this, she is in urgent and imminent need of a full roof replacement, which Waypoint Roofing in Dripping Springs has generously offered to donate and install. What a blessing! Before that happens though, we must finish some repairs to the framing and fascia on the back side of her house. Please consider joining us in prayer as we continue sharing the gospel with Brucha, and meet some of her physical needs in this season of challenges. In the meantime, come meet Brucha as we work to provide her with safety, comfort, and peace. See website for support and volunteer details.

Ms. Susan is a widow who inherited her family home, along with years of maintenance needs and damage that have become more than she can physically or financially address on her own. Despite these challenges, Susan has continued to express her gratitude and her unwavering faith that God sees her, hears her prayers, and will provide a way forward. Cornerstone Restoration now has the privilege of becoming part of His provision as the body of Christ rallies around her. This will involve several large serve days focused on home repairs, including damage in one of the bedrooms and several other needs throughout the property. We will need skilled volunteers, willing learners, prayer warriors, and people ready to work hard and love well. Financial gifts will help to purchase lumber, drywall, paint, flooring, hardware, repair supplies, and any professional assistance needed to complete the work properly. Susan is also known for making incredible peach tea, so come early, bring your energy, and prepare for a joyful day of restoration and fellowship. Above all, let’s make certain that our service directs every heart toward Christ, who sees Susan, hears her prayers, and alone deserves the glory! See website for support and volunteer details.

Ms. Kim is a widow whose home was deeply affected by the 2025 Sandy Creek floods. Despite everything she has walked through, Kim’s faith has remained incredibly strong, and her testimony is one of perseverance and trust in the Lord. While she has received help with several needs, the deck behind her home remains structurally compromised and unsafe. We have the privilege of coming alongside Kim to repair and restore her deck, creating a safe and welcoming space for her once again. We believe volunteers will arrive ready to serve her but will actually leave deeply encouraged by the opportunity to know her. Whether you have carpentry experience or simply a willing heart and a desire to learn, there is a place for you on this project. Financial partners can help provide funds for pressure-treated lumber, decking, structural hardware, screws, concrete, disposal costs, and the other materials required to make the deck safe. Be part of restoring safety and dignity to a wonderful neighbor while celebrating the steadfast faithfulness of Christ. May every part of this project bring glory to Him alone! See website for support and volunteer details.

Ms. Anne is a wonderful single mother with a big heart, who has poured precious time into making her house a home over the years - doing many projects herself with creativity and inspiration and love for her family and others. As the years passed, however, parts of her house succumbed to the elements, and Cornerstone Restoration was blessed to walk alongside Anne and her family previously to assist with plumbing and carpentry needs in their Spicewood home. Now, once again, the Lord has called us to Anne’s home to share His love and to be a living expression of His Word by showing up, serving faithfully, and loving her family boldly. We are grateful for the opportunity to return to continue bringing greater safety and stability through additional carpentry work, debris cleanup, yard assistance, and other potential improvements. We are especially excited to welcome one of our new church partners and members of their congregation as we serve together as one body in Christ. What a beautiful opportunity to build new relationships while rallying around a family in our own community. Financial gifts will allow CR to purchase lumber, hardware, disposal supplies, landscaping materials, and whatever additional resources are identified through the final scope. Please begin praying now that Christ would be clearly seen and experienced through every volunteer, every conversation, every act of generosity, and every moment spent with Anne and her family. He alone deserves the glory for all that is accomplished! See website for support and volunteer details.

For over a year, CR has been praying for God to provide a way to help Annette, a devoted widow, mother, and grandmother, whose late husband submitted a project request to CR asking for help for his family even as his own health was failing – a final, selfless act of love that has stayed with us ever since. When we visited Annette after his passing, we found a woman of deep faith, pressing through challenge after challenge with a trusting heart, living in a home whose problems would require a mosaic of professional partners, generous donors, faithful volunteers, and persistent prayer to solve. We believe God has been faithfully assembling a mosaic of brothers and sisters in Christ guided by the Holy Spirit, and the time has finally come to begin work on Annette’s home! Before the heavy-duty restoration begins — which will ultimately touch nearly every functional component of the home, including roofing, electrical, plumbing, windows, floors, and both interior and exterior work — we need a day to clear debris, remove vegetation, and prepare the property so the path ahead is unobstructed. Most importantly, this first Serve Day will be a beautiful opportunity for the entire CR team to gather around Annette, pray with her, and remind her that she is deeply loved and that this restoration is a gift sent directly from God! Please prayerfully consider joining us as a volunteer or donor — trust us, you will want to be a part of what God is about to do in Annette’s life and home!

Diana and her husband are raising two vibrant daughters in a home that should be a place of safety, joy, and stability. Unfortunately, flooring that was improperly installed several years ago has caused significant subfloor damage. Floors throughout their mobile home are now buckling and collapsing, creating dangerous living conditions for the entire family. Our first priority will be their daughter’s bedroom, where the damage is most severe and the floor has become especially unsafe. This is a substantial repair that the family cannot carry on its own, but we trust Christ to provide through His people. Please pray for Diana and her family, for wisdom as we uncover the full extent of the damage, and for the Lord to provide every volunteer and resource needed. We have a significant need for subfloor sheets, new flooring, fasteners, and other construction materials. Those unable to serve in person can still come alongside this family by donating toward the materials and project expenses. Every gift, regardless of size, helps us create a safer home while demonstrating the compassion of Christ. Let’s come together with willing hands and humble hearts, trusting that Christ alone will receive the glory through every part of this restoration! See website for support and volunteer details.

CR is no stranger to Ms. Kena, a hard-working widow and cancer survivor. When she had holes in the floor, water damage, and a cracked tub, CR volunteers stepped in and faithfully walked alongside her to restore safety and peace to her home. Through that experience and along with help from the CR Care team, Ms. Kena fell in love with the CR mission, its volunteers, and the community, and can now often be found at Bible study enjoying fellowship with other CR ladies! Ms. Kena has since become a devoted volunteer herself, faithfully using her gifts to serve others – which makes it such a joy to now turn around and bless her once again! Her property has an abundance of growth (overgrowth!) and is in need of a good yard cleanup. We want to bless her with this cleanup and getting some things done that she just cannot tackle on her own. Please prayerfully consider joining us to roll up our sleeves and show this faithful sister in Christ the same love and care she so freely pours out on others!

Ms. Estela is a grandmother, retired since 2015, who lives with her daughter and granddaughter on a simple, peaceful property in the flood-affected area of Leander. When recovery started after the July 2025 floods, Ms. Estela unfortunately had several bad experiences with contractors that took advantage of the funds she received for flood assistance. This left her with several problems that she just simply couldn’t manage on her own. The CR team will continue the repairs (exterior siding, flashing, and interior subfloor damage) started in June, to ensure that Ms. Estela’s home is safe from the elements and to prevent any further water intrusion. Please prayerfully consider helping this wonderful neighbor in need by volunteering to serve and/or providing donations to assist with the restoration efforts. Let’s show Ms. Estela what the love of Christ in action can accomplish! See website for support and volunteer details.

Mr. Lee is a retired veteran, father, grandfather, and follower of Christ that has some health issues and significant needs on his property to restore safety and dignity. When the flood rains came last year, his home couldn't handle the deluge, and he and family have been displaced ever since. Recently, the CR volunteer team built a ramp for him to safely access his trailer and also started a cleanup project around his property. Mr. Lee and his family saw hope restored where before there was only overwhelming heartache. We are going back to finish the general property cleanup and to remind this family that when God mobilizes his body, things that seem big to us are easy for Him! We will work on debris removal, brush chipping, and cutting back overgrown vegetation and trees. Please come out to help this wonderful neighbor in need and brother in Christ - and prayerfully consider donating funds to help with the vast restoration process ahead! See website for support and volunteer details.

Ms. Estela is a grandmother, retired since 2015, who lives with her daughter and granddaughter on a simple, peaceful property in the flood-affected area of Leander. She identifies herself as being religious and participates in a lot of volunteer work. Her daughter has also been a big part of helping out with flood recovery efforts in the area since last year. When recovery started after the July 2025 floods, Ms. Estela unfortunately had several bad experiences with contractors that took advantage of the funds she received for flood assistance. This left her with several problems that were not taken care of and that she simply couldn’t manage on her own. The CR team would like to ensure that Ms. Estela’s home is safe from the elements and prevent any further water intrusion by repairing some exterior siding, flashing, and some interior subfloor damage. Please prayerfully consider helping this wonderful new neighbor in need by volunteering to serve and/or providing donations to assist with the restoration efforts.

Ms. Kathy is a sweet lady that loves to do things herself. However, she often remarks about her frustration that her strength fails her when she wants to complete sometimes simple tasks that she used to take for granted. Cornerstone Restoration has been striving to show Ms. Kathy what love looks like when it originates from the body of believers and God himself. We want to continue that outreach to her by doing some yard cleanup and small tasks outside the home that would give her peace and comfort. Come join us to bless this wonderful neighbor! See website for support and volunteer details.

Mr. Lee is a retired veteran, father, grandfather, and follower of Christ who has lived on his property for over 25 yrs. He is a proud man who does not ask for help. However, when the flood rains came last year, his home couldn't handle the deluge and as such, he, his daughter, and grandchildren have been displaced ever since. With no benefits and few resources, and a recent hospitalization, Mr. Lee's current circumstances have become quite overwhelming. The lingering health issues and significant needs around the property have created a situation that requires lots of help to restore safety, stability, and dignity to Mr. Lee and his family. It is into this space, that the Lord has led Cornerstone Restoration to mobilize volunteers to provide some temporary improvements to the access into Mr. Lee's travel trailer, by building a walkway and some steps - thereby improving the safety in getting around the property. Please prayerfully consider coming out to help this new neighbor in need and brother in Christ... and possibly donating funds to help with the vast restoration process ahead. Thank you!

Ms. Brucha's story during the past several months is interwoven with volunteers serving on both the physical projects and the CR Care team. She has recently faced multiple life events, tragedy, and problems with her family home. The good news is that the Lord is obviously pursuing her as His provision, community, and love has rallied around her! As a part of that calling, the CR team would like to address a few of the issues Ms. Brucha has with her exterior doors and some bathroom plumbing. In addition to this, she is in urgent and imminent need of a new roof after the past few weeks of storms caused catastrophic roof failure with water entering at multiple points. We are actively seeking partners and donors to come alongside her to provide a full roof replacement. Please consider joining us in prayer as we continue sharing the gospel with Ms. Brucha, and seek to meet some of her physical needs in this season of challenges. Come meet Ms. Brucha as we work to make her safer and more comfortable in her home! See website for support and volunteer details.

Renita’s journey is one marked by deep loss and remarkable redemption. Living with her special-needs son in a collapsing, bed bug–infested home, she faced overwhelming physical hardship. But the heaviest weight was grief—having recently lost both her husband and her oldest son, Renita felt abandoned, isolated, and without hope. Then God stepped in. Through a divine connection with her church in Bertram, Cornerstone Restoration entered her story. Volunteers repaired her home—restoring safety, stability, and dignity—but the Lord was also at work in her heart. As walls were rebuilt, so too was her faith, and she discovered a renewed bond with her local church family! The work for this serve day will consist of the following: Sliding Glass Door repair, Floor repair, A/C unit install. See website for support and volunteer details.

Ms. Samm Gentry is a loving and prayerful grandmother that lives with her daughter, granddaughter, and great grandson. While the inside of her home was not flooded during last year’s July floods, her home was surrounded by water. Furthermore, the driveway was washed out, and their back deck was moved away from the house. While Ms. Samm tries to take wonderful care of her home, which is definitely filled with love, there are some things she just can't do. We want to be a blessing for her and her family and make the access points of her home more safe and secure. Ms. Samm and her family are in need of some carpentry work to help repair parts of the access ramp to her home and the back porch that were shifted around during last July’s floods. Please come out to show this wonderful family what the Love of Christ looks like in the hands and feet of His people! See website for support and volunteer details.

Ms. Sonia is a sister-in-Christ that CR has come to know and love! Her story of how God has used her life is impactful to all of those that hear it. She is mostly confined to a wheelchair and has some needs around her home, but most urgently she needs a more accessible and safe shower. We want to bless her with a new walk-in shower installation and also some much needed yard work around the home. Ms. Sonia, a wheelchair user for over twenty (20) years due to an accident, has carried both physical limitations and the deep aches of loss from having endured the passing of two husbands and her son. When volunteers first met Ms. Sonia during prayer walks in her community, despite her limited mobility and the overgrown condition of the property around her home, it was clear that God was already near to her. She greeted the team with openness and eagerness, sharing freely about her life, its hardships, its beauty, and its ever-present thread of faith. What began as a project to clean up around a home became a divine appointment to heal a heart. Through this wonderful relationship, Sonia has found family, hope, and a renewed sense of God’s presence. Her story is living proof that when the body of Christ steps in, homes are restored, hearts are healed, and hope is reborn! See website for support and volunteer details.

Diane is a devoted sister-in-Christ that is constantly working for the Lord in many ways. She is a devoted prayer warrior and spiritual leader that lets her light shine to all of those around her. She has some needs on her home exterior that she can't manage, so we want to bless her with some much needed home maintenance items. The CR team will work on some areas of rotted siding that need replacement. You will surely find blessing in meeting her and unifying the body of Christ around her and her needs. So, come out and support this wonderful new neighbor and show her that we are in this together... as the body of Christ! See website for support and volunteer details.

"Barbara Butterfly" as she is affectionately called, is in need of some upkeep around her home and yard. There are trees that need to be cut down and some painting on the house exterior that is needed. This is a wonderful opportunity for a group to fellowship alongside Barbara, and it would be fantastic to see our southern Austin peeps rally around her and spend a Christ-centered morning serving in this way. See website for support and volunteer details.

The CR team is stepping into the very real stage of turning a vacant piece of the property into a community Soccer Field! This is going to be a big undertaking, requiring enthusiastic volunteer workers, community partners with heavy equipment, and knowledgeable advisors. In other words, nothing that we could do alone, but we can be confident that God will provide everything and everybody that he wills! We will focus on preparing the site (moving dirt and heavy rocks), laying out the footprint, building a retaining wall, seeding the soil with grass seed, and field and goal construction. Bring your gloves, old work clothes, and your love for fellowship! See website for support and volunteer details.

Ms. Lois is an elderly widow and the daughter of a WW2 veteran. She has lived in her house for more than 20 years and loves her neighbors and the beautiful old town neighborhood of Georgetown. She has a wonderful life story and deeply loves the Lord! Ms. Lois recently turned 85 years young, and it appears that it is getting harder for her to climb up and down the stairs. She needs help with ramps on the porches of her home so she can safely get in and out of the house. There will be lots to saw work and nail work, but also some opportunity to meet Lois and hear her wonderful stories... so save the date! See website for support and volunteer details.

We are serving our sweet brother in Christ and friend Darrell Collier (who lost his wife while CR was serving them to repair their home)! It has been a while since we have been out there, and Darrell needs some much-needed attention. If you have never served at Mr. Darrell's, you will not want to miss this opportunity!! Darrell has a shower that needs to be fixed, and some painting that he can't do because of his recent shoulder surgery. See website for support and volunteer details.

Ms. Kena's original request came to us from her daughter-in-law's mother. And, while Ms. Kena has done what she can over the years, even purchasing some materials, she just simply doesn’t have the means to complete all of the work needed around her home. This is where the hands and feet of Jesus comes in! Your generosity—whether through time, resources, or prayer—will not only transform Ms. Kena’s home, but will also remind her that she is not alone. For this Serve Day, the CR team will install some flooring so that her grandkids have a place when they stay with her. See website for support and volunteer details.

Dominique inherited her family home from her grandmother, but time has taken its toll on several areas of the house. Over the last 10 years, Dominique has also been lovingly and selflessly helping to care for many family members in need -- 3 hospice patients that fell ill to cancer, her uncle who suffered from mental illness and was unable to keep employment, her younger sister, two cousins when they were unable to stay in their homes, and even providing spiritually, physically and financially for her beloved grandmother. Currently, Dominique is taking care of her mother while she is on unpaid leave. She is young and willfully determined but does not ask for assistance and never complains about anything – even donating her time and energy to several non-profit organizations. CR will send a team to repair her doors so that they will lock once again and keep this family safe. We will also work on some electrical items and various other repairs in the bathroom. See website for support and volunteer details.

Anne is a wonderful lady with a big heart that needs some help with her house. Anne has poured her heart into making her house a home over the years, doing many projects herself with creativity and inspiration and love for her family and others. As the years have passed, there are some parts of her house that are succumbing to the elements, and need attention that she doesn't have the expertise to accomplish. We will be repairing some doors, trim, bathroom, and other items. First and foremost, we want to show her that she is seen and loved by the body of Christ. See website for support and volunteer details.

Mr. Jones came to us through one of our faithful brothers in Christ and longtime CR volunteer. His home is in serious need of some TLC—and thankfully, that’s something God has blessed our Cornerstone Restoration family with in abundance! Let’s be honest—this yard is wild. But don’t let that scare you away. Mr. Jones and his wife are faithful Christ followers who simply need a hand. We know, by God’s strength and the support of our amazing friends and Ministry Partners like Koeppel Industries and Texas Reachout Ministries, that this transformation can happen—and it starts with YOU! Our first workday will focus on clearing the lot! We need hardworking hands, willing hearts, and some good ol’ Holy Spirit-fueled energy. See website for support and volunteer details.

Vancien is a disabled veteran with CHF and is a breast cancer survivor, whose property was severely damaged by the July 5th Central Texas floods. This is a great opportunity for a crew of volunteers to love on her and her son by helping remove debris and restore items that were moved during the floods. See website for support and volunteer details.

Gerry's 50 year old mobile home is in great need of a new subfloor and flooring as he has many holes that are being covered by carpeting that he has fallen through many times. He also has plumbing needs in his bathroom and kitchen. We have three serve opportunities coming up in January and the beginning of February to bless Gerry and restore his flooring, safety and dignity. See website for support and volunteer details.

We're going to Paula's in Burnet, and we need you in a big way. Paula's house is not safe for her! We believe the Lord led us there deliberately and for his will to be done. We will be reconstructing a bathroom, putting on new siding, replacing rotted subfloor, making a kitchen usable, and doing lots of carpentry, electrical, plumbing, and more. See website for support and volunteer details.
