MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – Thanks to Will Peterson Well Drilling and funding from the Home Depot Foundation’s Veteran Repair Program, Habitat for Humanity Lake County has been able to help veteran Jim Carreker replace the contaminated well upon his property in Middletown.

Carreker and his family were recipients of a Habitat home earlier this year but it was necessary to wait for funding and schedules to come together in order to tend to the well issue.

“We have been so blessed by everything Habitat for Humanity has done for us, and we are grateful to Will Peterson and Home Depot for their help too,” said Carreker. “Having good water is one of those things we take for granted until we don’t have it.”

If you would like to assist low-income military veteran homeowners with repairs to their homes, please contact Habitat for Humanity Lake County at 707-994-1100 or come by the office at 15312 Lakeshore Drive, Clearlake to donate to the Veteran’s Repair Program or to volunteer.
