Spring 2021

Our 2nd home, the ‘Barbara Monday Home’, for the ladies was completed in the Spring of 2021. We want to extend a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who helped make our 2nd home for our ‘adult’ ladies possible! We could not have done this without you! Enjoy the virtual open house tour below and THANK YOU for your continued support!!

Fall 2016

Completed in January of 2014, the Barbara & Lamar Paul Home had four men calling it home until 3:30 am on October 15, 2016, when a ‘suspicious fire’ started in 2 separate areas of the home totally destroying caregivers living quarters and a room belonging to one of the residents. The contents, clothing, furniture, and personal belongings are completely unsalvageable. Thankfully no one was in the home at the time of the fire. This is an unthinkable act of crime that has everyone within the DIGS family still in shock and anyone else who knows about DIGS and our mission! While we are still in the process of working towards our goal of $180,000 to build our second home for the ladies, we reach out to you again, our community who have supported our ‘adults’ and the DIGS mission to help us during this challenging time. It will be at least 3 months before the residence is livable again and in the meantime, our 4 young men are without the place they have called home. What DIGS has been able to accomplish for our ‘adults’ thus far would not have been possible without your support and we appreciated each and every one of you who continue to help make our efforts possible! Anyone can make a donation. Read the full story
