A group of local women put on their hard hats to help rebuild a South Park home while busting misconceptions in a non-traditional industry.
women put on their hard hats to help rebuild a South Park home, but they were also working to bust misconceptions in a non-traditional industry. A team of nearly 40 showed up Saturday morning to work on the home. The group was made up of all women from all walks of life.
"At no cost to the homeowner, we serve low-income homeowners in some of the least resourced, poorest neighborhoods in Houston," says CEO Christine Holland. Saturday’s team picked up parts of a months-long project, continuing repairs to the home of U.S. Army veteran Francine Roberson."Quite a bit of work has been done to her house. We’ve stabilized the structure. We have put a new roof on… there was mold we needed to remove, so she could be safe living here," explains Holland.
"We bring a different perspective to the meetings we hold in the field and in the office," says Megan Hall of Karsten Interior Services. The crew explains that they deal with some misconceptions of working in construction, like a lack of femininity, but many of them like to trade their hardhats for heels at the end of the day. Others don’t, but either choice doesn’t make any of them less of a woman.
