Righting a wrong

My first story published in the Jackson Citizen Patriot was a community based one, which are my favorite. It's great to see people doing something nice just because they think it is a good thing to do. When I went out to the house that some men were re-siding they were so happy and joking around. I even held the tape measurer so I could say that I helped. : ) They were a sweet group of guys who volunteered for the Great Jackson Habitat-Humanity.

Here's the story:

Habitat for Humanity volunteers put new siding on house that was spray-painted with graffiti

Five men helped right a wrong Thursday morning for a Leoni Township homeowner.

A crew of volunteers with Greater Jackson Habitat for Humanity put new siding on a portion of David Smith’s house after it was spray-painted with graffiti in April.

“No crime. No blacks” had been painted in large, green capital letters across the vinyl siding on the front of the light gray house. Smith purchased the house in early April and had been making some repairs before moving in.
