Dates: Saturday, October 23, 2010

Your assigned time: 8am – 5pm or until the project is completed

House Address: 587 Water Witch Way, Winchester Ranch Mobile Home Park, San Jose, CA, 95117

The homeowner is 92 years old and has lived in San Jose since she was born. She has 2 children, one son and one daughter. Her son lives in San Jose, but her daughter does not; both are in their 70s. The house is about 33 years old and she moved here when her mobile home and the park were new. She was married twice. Her first husband, who was in the Air Force, passed away when he was 37 years old; her second husband passed away in his 60’s. The only source of income for this homeowner is Social Security and a small pension from her second husband. She has had a heart attack before, she also fell and broke her shoulder, and has severe arthritis in her back which causes pain in her arms and hands. She is in need of assistance in the kitchen, bathroom and some exterior repairs as well.

Parking: Parking is limited in the park. It is recommended that you park in the Century Theater parking lot on Olsen behind the Winchester Mystery House and walk into the park. This home is all the way back and to the left at the last street.

· Water bottle (Water coolers will be available at every site for refills.)
