Lee BIA Builders Care and Pulte Homes are partnering to build a new, accessible home for a Fort Myers homeowner and celebrated a project milestone with a Notes of Love ceremony for its donors and project partners in March.
After completing the framework of the new home, Builders Care and its project partners gathered to leave special messages for the new homeowner, Lewis Freeman. With these Notes of Love, Freeman will always be surrounded by the community’s well wishes, words of encouragement and blessings.
The 71-year-old U.S. Marine Corps veteran was born and raised in Fort Myers’ Dunbar neighborhood. After suffering a stroke in 2015, Freeman was unable to continue working and has since lived on a fixed income. When his rental home was sold unexpectedly, he moved in with his niece while hoping to once again have a home of his own. Builders Care and generous local partners and donors are building Freeman a brandnew, two-bedroom, two-bath home on a lot in Dunbar that was donated by the City of Fort Myers.
More than 46 subcontractors are donating labor and services for the project, coordinated by Pulte Homes and its builder partners. The home is expected to be completed in late spring. To learn more, visit LeeBuildersCare.org.
