Let's give the Courter Family the quality of life they deserve.
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the DeWitt Community Build is to expand upon Ted’s pending housing allowance from the Catastrophic Accident Fund to build a real home for this long waiting family of 6. The home and property will be fully ready to move in with no “get to it later” projects indoor or out. Very specific, rather expensive specialty equipment will be researched and purchased, as donations allow, that will help Ted integrate more easily into family life. Using long term low maintenance components will be a high priority for the home. In an effort to rebuild the lives of the Courter Family the existing mortgage on the property and farmhouse will be paid down in order to prepare the family for the long term in living with Ted's condition.
