Time and Hurricanes Matthew and Florence have le the building itself in need of some major work. Some repairs have been done, donated by builders and plumbers, but Seth's Wish is limited to just half of the first floor of the building. Extending into the other half of the first floor would require roof repair, which would require the services of a structural engineer. at leaves the organization with the dining room; the "kitchen," which doesn't have a sink or oven but does hold the refrigerators, deep freezers and shelves of food and hygiene and paper products; a clothing donations closet; a restroom and a storage closet, which houses the water heater and miscellaneous cleaning items. e top floor is a separate address. When Seth's Wish is finally able to remove the plywood walling off the other half of the first floor, they could tackle a long-term plan to meet some of the community's greatest needs. "Just in talking to people about what they need, laundry is a pretty big one," Wofford said. "Once we get the second half of our building ready, we'll be able to do that. We'll be able to have showers. You want to be presentable when you go to get a job or when you try to go get housing." Wofford admits those goals are likely years down the road, but the people behind Seth's Wish are committed to figuring it out, to continue to serve the people in the community who can't figure it out without them. "Probably on a weekly basis, we look at each other and go, 'How are we going to make it to Monday?'" Wofford said. "But what if we don't? We'd have to look somebody in the eye and shut the door. And that's not an option." 910.988.0097 5239 Yadkin Road Fayetteville, NC 28303 www.therockguns.com THE ROCK Guns & Accessories • Custom Builds • Buy/Sell/Trade • Laser Engraving • In-House Gunsmith and more!
