“Buying a @makeitright_9 home was one of best decisions of my life. I had lived in 9th ward for 45 years before the storm hit. I went away for 6 years and couldn’t wait to come back. My daughter used to cough all through the night with bronchitis. Ever since we got a Make it Right house, that doesn’t happen. No more bronchitis attacks.” How has your home impacted your health and family? #ShareHomeIs #HomeMatters
