MADISON, WISCONSIN, April 10, 2014 – Project Home’s 13th annual Hammer with a Heart program will repair its
100th Dane County home, on April 26th, for a truly inspiring member of our community – Ramona Mosley. Ramona
is a Madison homeowner and single mother caring for children with significant medical and emotional needs.
WHO: Project Home along with:
- House Sponsors: J.H. Findorff & Son, American Family Insurance, Heartland Credit Union, Waunakee
Remodeling, Madison Area Builders Association, The Evjue Foundation, Inc. and NARI of Madison.
- Materials Sponsors: Carpenters Local #314, Green Bay Packers, Associated Bank, Hooper Corporation and

WHAT: Project Home’s Hammer with a Heart program with its generous skilled crews and over a hundred additional
community volunteers will provide free major home repairs for seven Dane County families, in 2014. Each spring,
Hammer with a Heart makes crucial repairs and health and safety improvements for low-income homeowners, with
all volunteer labor and many donated materials. Hammer with a Heart volunteers install new roofs, siding, doors,
windows, flooring and make accessibility modifications to kitchens and bathrooms….and so much more.
Through 2013, Hammer with a Heart has provided over $1,000,000 in repairs to the homes of 94 neighbors in need
in 27 communities. With this year’s event, we will repair our 100th area home, since the program began in 2002! It is
only through the support and dedication of our sponsors, skilled crews, donors and community volunteers, that we
have been able to reach this milestone – we thank all of you that have contributed over the years.

WHEN: Saturday, April 26, 2014 - community volunteers will join the National Association of the Remodeling Industry
(NARI) – Madison crew (over 50 volunteers) to complete the four-week project on Ramona’s house. Over 150 other
volunteers will work on the six other Hammer with a Heart projects
WHY: For 43 years, Project Home has been committed to improving the quality and affordability of housing for low-to-
moderate-income residents of Dane and Green Counties. Project Home builds strong communities by helping
residents save money and energy through its weatherization and home repair programs. We also coordinate and
operate, privately funded community service events and programs like Hammer with a Heart, Paint-a-thon and our
new Water Heater Replacement Program.
“Through Hammer with a Heart, we are able to bring people together to make a big impact for community members
in need. Our program helps area seniors, veterans, families with young children and people that are handicapped or
have had significant health issues, on a very personal level. This is a big program, and it would not be possible
without the generosity, dedication and support of our sponsors, donors, and skilled and community volunteers. They
are the ones that bring Hammer with a Heart to life. I cannot thank them enough.” stated Project Home Outreach
Specialist, Jason Hafeman.
