4 Walls and a Roof

 

Lets Go!

 

Give the gift of living, this Christmas.

How you, your family, group, and other families can provide a home for a homeless family, by December 25.

The Black Hawk Cares Foundation, in association with Housing Made Simple™, invites you to participate in something audacious and life changing, this holiday season.

You have seen the utter devastation that Hurricane Helene inflicted on parts of the east coast, chiefly North Carolina.

Thousands of big-hearted Americans have generously donated money, food, clothing, and essentials to keep these stricken families alive. But many of them are still existing in tents. And … it’s getting colder.

What they really need are “4 walls and a roof.”

And we have a dream, a goal, of ensuring that as many families as possible get a warmer, more substantial Christmas.

To kickstart this mission, Housing Made Simple has donated the first 8 units (over $55K in-kind donation), 4 – and 4 - , to the Black Hawk Cares Foundation “4-Walls-and-a-Roof” program, launching this campaign to immediately help families in crisis from the Hurricane Helene disaster in West North Carolina.

How can you help?

We will need approximately $7,350 in donations for each SwiftBuiltTM Rapid Response unit, and $22,700 for each ExpandX™ Highland unit to fund the site prep, installation, plumbing and electrical hook up as well as a furniture and fixtures budget for adapting each of the units to the specific need for the recipients of these first 8 units.

The 8 units will be ready for delivery on December 1st

Please help us fund the site work and ensure that at least 8 families with nowhere to live right now have a home for Christmas by donating below



DONATE NOW

 

Thank you!

 

Now, how can everyone you know help? Because…

 

8 IS NOT ENOUGH!!!

 

There are many families that have been identified in need… Dozens, just with two local organizations, alone. While we have provided these first donated units to 8 of these families in need, they all need a home.

 

Give the gift of something more than “shelter,” gift a home.

 

You, your family, group, and other families can provide a home for a homeless family while they rebuild their lives.

 

The Black Hawk Cares Foundation, in association with Housing Made Simple, invites you to participate in something audacious and life changing…

 

Give the gift, that keeps on giving

 

Your Mission, should you choose to accept it, is to mobilize your family, and your friends’ and neighbors’ families to be directly responsible for delivering happiness and security to a family without a place to call home.

The long-term goal of 4-Walls-and-a-Roof is to deliver a home to those families finding themselves in a homeless crisis … when they need it, and where they need it … rapidly … so they can start putting their lives back together and rebuilding.

They may stay in that home for many months, maybe a year, or more…

But after their old home gets re-built or they find a new permanent home, we take your donated house back, fold it up and place it in storage, ready for the next emergency.

Unlike traditional modular structures, just as it is assembled, it can be rapidly disassembled, without impacting its structural integrity…

We then store the units in our warehouses, so they are ready to deploy for the next disaster.

The entire way, you’ll be able to check in through your dashboard and see when your house is serving, and where it is.

Know this: Your house will be keeping families safe for many, many years to come. Think 20+ years.

So … if you’re ready to roll and start building your house…

Here’s how it works:

  • You sign up - and give your family, group of families, church group - a name. (It could be the Jackson Family, or a name you choose, like Pickle Ball Club, Highpoint Church crusaders, or whatever.) List the members of your group, with emails, so we can keep you informed on the progress of your house.
  • You choose an available region where you’d like your house to be deployed.
  • You choose the house you’d like to deploy there - from the 156 sq ft “SwiftBuilt Rapid Response™”, to the more spacious 400 sq ft “ExpandX Highland™”, with 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
  • The SwiftBuilt Rapid Response requires a target of $14,000 to be reached, the ExpandX Highland carries a target of $30,000. This includes the site prep, delivery, installation, plumbing and electrical hook up as well as a furniture and fixtures budget for adapting the units to the specific need.
  • One you’ve chosen your house, you can also add options like bunkbeds or full-size beds, mini-fridges, TVs etc.
  • As the house is constructed in our factory, we put the name of your group on it - and the house will bear that name forever.
  • You’ll be able to observe the progress of your group’s donation levels on a “meter” showing you how much of your house has been funded.
