The story of Cozy Corner’s transformation will be remembered as one of NWC’s most touching stories. Patricia Tyson walked into NeighborWorks Columbus wanting better for her and her family.
After Cozy Corner’s demolition, we decided to build a two-story blue home to pay homage to the historical site. We showed her the blueprint of the home and asked if she wanted to own this home. Mrs. Tyson was excited and started the program.
After pre-approval she reached out to us requesting something special. Something we have never done here at NeighborWorks Columbus. Mrs.Tyson, a women deeply rooted in her Christian faith, requested that we bury her Bible, given to her by her late father, in the home’s foundation.
“I’m breaking generational curses by being the first homeowner in my family. I thank my lord and savior, Jesus Christ, and the wonderful staff at NeighborWorks Columbus.” Patricia Tyson
