Giving to the community is not a duty but a privilege.

 

On behalf of Junk House Riches co-founders Brad Hess and Tyrell Gray, we want to thank our sponsors for giving unselfishly to the My Free Home Now Giveaway Tour community event on Thursday, September 17 at Underground Atlanta.

Our food sponsors provided delicious treats for the crowd and our VIP reception that fed our deserving families who were finalists for the giveaway. Our business and individual sponsors gave incredible donations directly to the winning homeowner and the event.

Congratulations again to Michael Smith, winner of the My Free Home Now Giveaway Tour Atlanta. The single father of two was secretly nominated by his sister, Sharon! Here's an excerpt from her letter:

"My brother Michael Smith keeps our entire family together and will do anything for any of us... the shoes off his feet, the clothes off his back... but that was before he got laid off. He is struggling now himself... He is newly divorced taking care of his 2 teenage daughters who he now has custody of..."

Michael's story was inspiring. It brought tears to the faces of many at Underground Atlanta. However, event hosts and local personalities SiMan Baby and Rob Wilson, along with Ron Devoe of the iconic R&B group New Edition, kept us upbeat and entertained. Special guest and former local news anchor Jacquitta Williams sang for us, and mayoral candidate Jessie Spikes dropped by with words of encouragement.

The My Free Home Now Giveaway Tour also garnered media coverage from CNN, WSB-TV, WAOK and WIGO. The event was a success, despite the start of torrential rains that eventually led to our area's flooding (May we keep the victims in our prayers and reach out to them in this time of need).

As coordinators for this event, we hope to work with you all in the future on other community-related events and causes. Spread the word on Facebook and Twitter about the tour's website www.MyFreeHomeNow.com and the company's site www.JunkHouseRiches.com. The next tour stops are Indianapolis in November and Memphis in December!

Check the website often for updates, event pictures and mentions of your generous support.

Thanks again,
