We Broke Ground Today!!




Today was an amazing day. We broke ground. Finally!! I couldn’t be happier. The children and I went to the site to see the progress, as we will at the end of each day. We got so excited to see that this is really happening. I have never been so excited to see a hole in the mud. Lol Children don’t fully understand something like this until they see it happen with their own eyes. (To tell you the truth I didn’t believe it myself until today.) Today, we start to believe.
Yesterday it was just a dream and today that dream has become a reality for the children and Myself. The first day is finally here.
Thank you to all the companies, and volunteers on site today. Great Job Guys!

Workers that were on site today - Jean Ives Boudreau (Project Manager)
– Rick Nichols, Luke Nichols and Robert Muise.
Companies that were on site today - Hi-Roc Construction - donated excavator.
Thomas Construction - donated the trucks.
Hughes Surveys - provided layout and grades.
