A Nonprofit Serving Widows Through Construction and Care
Who We Are
The Mending Project is a nonprofit organization in Birmingham, AL dedicated to serving widows through compassion and skilled craftsmanship. Our team is made up of experienced professionals from the construction and design build industry who are committed to more than just home improvement. We believe every remodel and repair is an opportunity to restore dignity, comfort, and peace.
At the heart of our mission is faith. We believe God has purposed us to create a path for widows who need home renovations that are otherwise out of reach. By combining professional expertise with heartfelt compassion, we make homes safer, more functional, and more welcoming.
Who We Help: Supporting Birmingham Widows in Need
The Mending Project nonprofit specifically serves widows who face significant home repair and renovation challenges that extend beyond their financial means. These are women who find themselves in situations where necessary construction work has become overwhelming, both financially and emotionally.
UNDERSTANDING THE NEED
Many widows in our Birmingham community relied on their husbands for home maintenance and repair knowledge. When faced with major renovation needs, they often feel vulnerable to contractors who might take advantage of their situation. Our nonprofit exists to eliminate this vulnerability by providing trustworthy construction services at no cost to qualified widows.
We focus on widows whose homes require extensive repair or remodel work that cannot be funded through their current income. These might include structural repairs, accessibility modifications, safety updates, or complete room renovations that would significantly improve their quality of life.
Our Mission and Purpose
The Mending Project is not just about construction. It is about mending brokenness in both homes and hearts. By addressing home repair needs, we give widows a way to grieve without the burden of unsafe or neglected spaces.
We approach every design build and remodel project with the same standard of excellence we would offer a paying client. This commitment ensures that each widow receives work that is professional, dignified, and life-enhancing.
A PASSION FOR EXCELLENCE
We know that great construction requires skill, but meaningful service requires compassion. Our team blends both by listening closely, communicating clearly, and executing every remodel with precision. Each project is a reflection of our dedication to serving people, not just building structures.

Why It Matters

For widows facing the challenges of maintaining or repairing a home, construction needs can become a heavy burden. The Mending Project lifts that burden by providing expert design build and remodel services at no cost to those in need.
