The Fort Bragg Police Department was eager to bring Healthy Room Project to our community. When we identified a local family in need and conducted a thorough assessment, it became clear that their situation required support well beyond just bedroom improvements — their entire household needed help.
That’s when Dana Jess and Mark Mertle stepped in and generously transformed the effort into a full Healthy Home Project, donating thousands of dollars to make it possible. Jess Construction installed a privacy door for the son’s bedroom, giving him his own personal space for the first time. They also purchased a new dishwasher and provided comprehensive pest control services for the home and surrounding property.
Fort Bragg Electric, Inc. played a crucial role by installing the new dishwasher, updating plumbing under the sink, repairing electrical issues behind the range and at the main panel, fixing a faulty light switch, and responsibly disposing of all old appliances and materials.
Thank you to this collaborative effort, the family now lives in a safer, healthier, and more functional home.
