Beth's house is going up! In West Paris Maine, a community has come together to fill a need of one of it's citizens.
25 year old Beth Coffin lives with spinal muscular atrophy, a disease that attacks nerves in the spinal cord and was originally not expected to live past the age of 2. The family has struggled to keep Beth comfortable and healthy in their trailer which has rotten floors and mold and mildew problems. This year they sold their property and purchased a lot more suitable for the house. Volunteers from the community have worked alongside Beth to raise $45,000 over the past year for a new home.
This weekend, the walls went up on Beth's House. Beth, her family, and the volunteers are excited to be able to see the beginnings of their efforts realized. About $25,000 more is needed to complete the home, add the finishing touches and appliances.
