CHILDRESS, TEXAS -- Mission trips to Honduras inspired a group of people in the town of Childress to start helping out folks in their own community.
That's when 'The Augment Project' came to life and the first goal was to rebuild a condemned house and give it to a deserving person in the community.
After about four months of work, and more than two-hundred volunteers later, the house that love built was ready for its new owner, and she says that she feels blessed by this community.
"This just proves my faith. God says if you pray and you believe -- it comes true, and that's what they've proved to me," said Vickie Polley, The Augment Project Home Recipient.
The project started off with four people and grew into the hundreds by the time of demolition.
"We had help from all over the community -- all shapes and sizes, and it's great to see people serving both young and old. That's the way Childress is. When you live in a small town, and you know your neighbors and you know their needs -- people are so go to pitch in and try to make a difference and that's what happened here," said John Henderson, The Augment Project Volunteer.
Augment Project Board Director, Amy Henderson, says this house and new owner was a match made in heaven.
"This house was the perfect fit for her and when people came that first night, they realized and saw the match -- I think that's what made the community come together. When you walk through it now and you see her in it, it's no question and no doubt that she's the one that belongs here."
Polley says she will be eternally grateful.
"People that I don't even know came and worked on this place and put hours of time and whatever needed to be done they did it. You couldn't ask for greater people."
Polley's new home is about 1,100 square feet, has been fully furnished, and even the pantry has been fully stocked thanks to volunteers, donors and businesses.
The group who put this home together plan on doing more good deeds like this one in the future.
