The Curtin Team’s “Home Refresh” Project: Uplifting Our Community One Home at a Time

At the Curtin Team, we believe in giving back to the community that supports us. Roswell is a place where people show up for one another. Neighbors extend helping hands, and acts of kindness are part of daily life. Through our non-profit organization, Curtin Team Cares, we focus on making a local impact when it’s needed the most. Our latest initiative, the Home Refresh Project, reflects this mission by offering a home makeover to a deserving teacher or staff member from the Roswell school district.

Choosing Shannon Anderson: A Heartfelt Journey
We received many heartfelt nominations, each sharing the story of someone who tirelessly gives back to the community. Shannon Anderson’s story stood out to us. Her resilience in the face of unimaginable hardship, combined with her dedication to her school and family, made her the perfect choice for this project. In one day, we will transform her home, giving Shannon a space that symbolizes hope and renewal.

Shannon’s Strength and Resilience
Shannon’s colleagues at Mountain Park Elementary describe her as the heart and soul of the school. As the school’s bookkeeper, she does far more than what her job title suggests. From updating the website to planning staff celebrations, Shannon is the go-to person for just about anything. She works behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly. Her positive attitude shines through, even in the face of great personal challenges.

A Story of Loss and Inspiration
Shannon is a single mother of six. Tragically, she lost two of her children—her teenage daughter five years ago and her teenage son earlier this year. Despite this unimaginable grief, Shannon continues to inspire those around her with her optimism and dedication. She believes in doing her best, no matter the task. Mountain Park Elementary is her safe space, and the supportive community there has helped her navigate the most difficult years of her life.

A Fresh Start: The Home Refresh Project
The Home Refresh Project comes at a crucial time for Shannon. Her youngest daughter is preparing for college, and her older sons are serving in the Army or attending university. Shannon is about to enter a new phase of life, and this home makeover will give her the fresh start she needs. More than just a home improvement, it is a step toward healing and a chance to create new memories.

What the Project Includes
The home makeover includes painting, landscaping, handyman services, window washing, cleaning, organizing, and staging. It’s not just about improving her house—it’s about creating a space where Shannon can feel at peace. We aim to complete the project before Thanksgiving so Shannon can enjoy the holidays in a refreshed and uplifting space, surrounded by her family and friends.

How Roswell Shows Its Strength
Roswell is more than just a town; it’s a community rooted in care and compassion. When one of our own faces challenges, we come together to help. The Home Refresh Project reflects the spirit of Roswell, showing Shannon that she is not alone. Her community stands with her, ready to support her as she moves forward.

How You Can Get Involved
The Curtin Team and Curtin Team Cares are committed to completing Shannon’s home transformation, but we need your help. We’re calling on local vendors, businesses, and individuals to contribute either through donations or services. Your support will help ensure that Shannon’s home is ready for the holiday season.

Whether you’re a landscaper, painter, handyman, or simply someone willing to donate time or resources, we would love to partner with you. Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to making Shannon’s home a place of comfort and joy.
