Ra-Lin – Making a Dream Come True

We are excited to announce that Ra-Lin & Associates has joined hands with Fostering the Dream to build the Almon Project. Ben Garrett, CEO, has generously announced that Ra-Line will supervise the construction of the Almon Project. They have reviewed the house plans, developed a working plan, and secured numerous vendors who are willing to donate materials and labors. Through their efforts, the cost of the house has been reduced to $80,000. We welcome Ra-Lin aboard and have committed to raising the $80,000 through a grass roots funding program. To learn how you can partner with our team to complete the Almon Project, contact Fostering the Dream.

The Almon Family Story

When the Almon family was selected as a finalist on ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition, a group Carrollton’s citizens and business people wanted to organize a charity whose aim was to purchase a car for the family. However, ABC decided on another family for its prize and so this charity’s purpose is raise money to build a new home for a family that has given so much to those in need.
