    We Have a BIG Problem: Can Our Tiny House Project Survive?

    Send us a text Life doesn't always go how you plan it. David's story taught us how a tiny home can do more than give you a roof-it can change your life. But sometimes, paths shift. David's time with us came to an end, but the mission of Blueprints for Redemption is stronger than ever. This project isn't just about hammers and nails. It's about teaching people to create something real with their own hands. Every nail driven, every board cut, every single step shows them what they're capable of. Tiny homes are more than houses-they're a way forward. They teach independence, confidence, and hope for a future brighter than anyone imagined. Some of the teens in this program have never held a hammer before. But now? They're building entire homes. They're learning skills that can lead to jobs, careers, and self-reliance. We've seen the transformation-someone walks in uncertain, and by the end, they're standing tall, looking at something they built with their own two hands. ADHD can feel like chaos. Addiction can feel like a trap you can't escape. But here's the thing: neither of those struggles defines you. What defines you is what you choose to do next. This project gives young people the tools-not just to build a home but to rebuild themselves. Carlton and I talked a lot about that in this episode. He said, 'This isn't about just teaching skills. It's about showing someone that they can build a life they're proud of. That's what this project does.' Every single tiny home is a stepping stone. It's a chance for someone to take control of their future. It's about more than construction-it's about creating a foundation for growth, stability, and a second chance. Now, we're looking for the next person to join this journey. Someone ready to step up and take a chance on themselves. Someone who's ready to learn, to grow, and to build something amazing-not just a tiny house, but a better tomorrow. What You'll Learn in This Video: -Why tiny homes are so much more than just walls and roofs. -How learning to build gives people struggling with ADHD or addiction a new sense of purpose. -Why offering second chances can transform lives and communities. -Want to Be Involved? 💡 Know someone who's ready for a second chance?
