Paul Glover’s home was condemned but a new mini home from Sandy’s Place has been delivered

By Andrew Harris

It has been several months since an Elm Valley man, lost his home to time. His neighbors, local college groups from Alfred, and volunteers have been working since to get Paul Glover a safe place to live without having to move.

The efforts are paying off and a “mini-home” where Paul’s family home once stood is now in place. Local Mandi-Joyce Phelps was thrilled to announce the news:

Today is an exciting day for Mr. Glover! (And Melissa, who has been working miracles!) Paul’s tiny home was delivered today! I am told Paul is beside himself with joy and gratitude!

There is still a need for additional funding, so I am going to repost the link to the go fund me. Please share with this update!

It goes without saying that we live in wonderful community, full of generous neighbors and business owners. I am in awe! Let’s keep it going. Paul is so close to going HOME!”

Mandi reminds that an GoFundMe is still active for those who wish to donate, https://www.gofundme.com/f/rebuild-pauls-safe-haven-in-elm-valley
