A Katy organization and numerous volunteers came together to renovate a home for two brothers who lost their parents.
Twenty-two-year-old Jaylan and his brother Julian, 12, got a tour of their newly renovated home on Friday.Jaylan promised his mother he would take care of Julian.
“[I] try my best to keep him in check, make sure he doesn’t get in trouble, and make sure he’s loved,” said Jaylan.“At one point, I was just done with the house. I was ready to sell it at one point. It was too much weight on my shoulders. I couldn’t do it,” said Jaylan.“There’s just no way they could’ve lived in it and probably would’ve never fixed it,” said Executive Director Ron Peters.Additionally, Lakewood Church furnished the home.
“I want you to have a safe place to live. I want you to be able to not worry about your home, for a few years,” said Peters. “This is what we do. It’s hard work. It’s non-profit work, but it’s why we do it is for those guys.”“It makes me so happy to see that there’s good people. I just like the way we’ve been treated. I didn’t think anything good would happen,” said Julian.
