Kevin's Recovery Helping Kevin Mather on his road to recovery

Mather Condo Repairs

July 9, 10:45 PM – The following message is from Eric Helgemo:

In the midst of everything that transpired last weekend, the Mathers had a toilet supply line burst and flood their condo. Thanks to the quick response from several friends with shop vacs and mops, the furniture was saved. However, the flooring and baseboard were ruined. I and Andrew Daymude met with Gregg Gentry yesterday to assess the damage and formulate a plan to restore their home. Although they are insured, the damage will exceed the policy limits. We will respond in love to see that their home is restored quickly and without cost (we hope) as they face many expenses ahead. We hope to have the supplies purchased this week and begin the restoration next week.

If you are able to donate time and have skills in tiling or laying baseboard please contact me by cell: (805) 587-0043.

For the repairs we need to purchase:

• 200 LF of 5″ MFD baseboard
• 1 gallon of white paint
• 260 SF laminate flooring, and
• 72 SQ YD of carpet

Note: Due to additional damage caused to an adjacent vacant unit, some drywall, insulation, texture and painting work needs to be done as well.

7/14 – Update: Through donations of material and finances, these needs have now been met! Thank you! Construction to commence shortly!

On a personal note, last night as my family (4yrs and up) knelt and prayed to God for Kevin and family, I couldn’t help but feel God’s presence and wonder what it must be like to hear thousands of people from our church and the local community crying out to an awesome God who hears them all. Thank you for that experience, Kevin. You are in his hands. Amen.
