derek12+FollowEast Austin neighbors rally to fix Mattie’s homeMattie Freeman’s East Austin home is about to get a life-changing makeover, thanks to the kindness of local companies and neighbors. After living decades with vision loss, Mattie’s house had become a maze of hazards—uneven floors, tricky steps, and no central heat. Now, teams from CG&S Design-Build and Driftwood Builders Roofing are stepping in to make her space safer and warmer.
