Successful Delivery to North Carolina!

Over the weekend, we successfully delivered another Tiny Home to Lansing, North Carolina. A heartfelt thank you to Jason 'Moose' Johnson for heading up this drop 💪 and Beitzel Corporation along with Shawn Bender for generously providing the vehicle and fuel, to Kenny Schmidt and Mark Miller for volunteering to drive, and to Zack Miller for lending an extra set of hands along the way.

During our trip, we met with Catherine, our contact from Musicians Mission of Mercy, We met through a Divine Hope Church outreach mission assisting cleanup efforts in the Boone, North Carolina area. Hearing their stories was difficult—there are still countless people in dire need across North Carolina, though no one truly knows how many.

As always, the Tiny Home Relief Project will continue sending homes to those in need for as long as we are able.

Thank you all for your continued love and support.
THRP Family ❤️

Wrapping Up the Second Food Pantry for Pensacola sponsored by the Oakland-Mt. Lake Park Lions Club

As we complete our second food pantry for Pensacola—an effort that came together in God’s perfect timing. While the process was not without challenges, we couldn’t be more grateful for the outcome.

Momentum slowed during this build, and there were moments when we questioned our timeline. But as we learned last fall, God’s timing is never rushed—it moves at His pace.

From the start, this second pantry faced obstacles. Heavy rain halted construction in the final days leading up to our first delivery, preventing Pantry #2 from traveling with Pantry #1 and the tiny home we delivered. Once we returned to Maryland, the pantry project seemed to stall, relying on the availability of volunteers to move it forward.

Then came a message from a local partner at Divine Hope Church, sharing that there are still people in need of tiny homes above Boone, North Carolina. How could that be after all this time?? While it’s not for us to fully understand, we do know this—God’s timing is always intentional.

We are now arranging an interview with those in need as we prepare for the second pantry delivery. Placing a tiny home is not something that happens overnight—it requires significant preparation and coordination. In truth, this work has been unfolding quietly behind the scenes ever since we learned of the ongoing need in for our Appalachian family in the south.

When we look at all the moving parts—and the way events aligned—there’s no explanation other than God Himself at work. We are thankful for the opportunity to continue serving and look forward to sharing more when Pantry #2 is officially delivered.

Lots of volunteers for this build that we couldn't be more thankful for. Southern Garrett High School, Brandon Whitacre, Bsharp Maintenance & Repairs, LLC, volunteers from Gortner Union Church, Tracie Dawson, Advanced HVAC and Plumbing

This Drop Was Different.

Normally, we share only a few photos from our tiny home deliveries—never full videos. That’s because during these moments, there’s often too much happening to capture it well. More importantly, we’re mindful that pulling out a phone in such emotional, sacred moments can feel intrusive. But this time was different, This video is 100% raw there is no staged settings, This is literally the first time she's been able to say this is home in almost 9 months.

What we do at THRP is 100% God-driven. There’s no other explanation. And the way this drop came together felt like divine alignment.

Our interior designer, Wendy Beitzel Lewis, often reminds us that it’s hard for her to see the home transported in an unfinished state—knowing the first glimpse families get is never the final vision. Just last week, we had this exact conversation.

This time, however, the recipients were unable to be present during the delivery due to circumstances beyond their control. That allowed us to fully stage the home before they ever saw it. Keys were handed off to our trusted contact in Western North Carolina, Chasity, and for the first time, the new homeowners walked into a completely finished tiny home—from hand knitted quilts donated from local churches right down to the American flag donated by June McClosky hanging beside the front door. It’s a moment that rarely happens, and it was beautiful. ❤️

Speaking of Chastity Sampson Collier —we want to take a moment to recognize her incredible role with THRP. She, along with her husband and close-knit group of friends, has spent countless hours serving her community in North Carolina. Their dedication and heart for helping others is truly inspiring.

Nearly 9 months after Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina, many families are still struggling. The recipients of this tiny home had been living in a friend’s basement. When the floodwaters hit, they lost nearly everything—including their home and their belongings. In an instant, their world was turned upside down. Everything they've worked for gone.

While this tiny home may not compare to what they lost, in many ways, it’s everything. It represents hope, stability, and a fresh start—a place to breathe, to rebuild, and to move forward.

At THRP, we deliver more than homes—we deliver hope, 100% free of charge.

This tiny home was generously sponsored by Greater Good Music and built by the inmates of the West Virginia Schools of Diversion & Transition The interior was decorated by Wendy Beitzel Lewis and the talented students at Southern Garrett High School

As always, we are grateful for every donation, big and small. Your support made this mission possible. God is good—and may He bless you all.

We are beyond thrilled to unveil the very first of many tiny homes that will be crafted at the Huttonsville Correctional Center in West Virginia—what we proudly call the Cadillac of our collection. This isn’t just a structure—it’s a symbol of redemption, teamwork, and the power of second chances.

Fully functional, complete with a kitchen and bathroom, this tiny home is a testament to what happens when people come together with passion and purpose. Every screw, every nail, every board has been laid with intention by the dedicated inmates and incredible staff at the prison. Their craftsmanship and pride shine through every inch.
This past winter when our outside build locations faced The harsh obstacles of old man winter, these men pushed forward with unmatched dedication.

Our interior designer, Wendy Beitzel, is about to turn this beauty into a fully stocked, cozy masterpiece—thanks to all your generous contributions through our Amazon wishlist. Every pillow, pan, and plate you sent has a place here.

This home, like every one we build, is 100% paid for by the American people and/or partners, and gifted to a family at no cost. What an extraordinary act of love and unity. Southern Garrett High School's carpentry class built the skid floors, and the inmates brought the rest to life. This is education, rehabilitation, and community collaboration at its finest. This tiny home is more than wood and nails—it’s God given and God driven. A beautiful reminder of how faith, compassion, and teamwork can create real change

We are deeply grateful for all inmates involved and the wonderful staff at Huttonsville Correctional Center

Shelby Searls – Superintendent
Thomas Harlan – Deputy Superintendent

Tim McKisic – Mill and Cabinet Instructor

Stay tuned—Wendy’s magic touch is coming soon in the next video, along with the big delivery day reveal! Oh, and don’t forget—two different food pantries, sponsored by the Lions Club, are also headed to Pensacola in the weeks to come!

Thank you all for your continued support This project is dependent on your support and we are thrilled that you have laid so much trust in our organization, God bless everyone of you.

Update on the first of two food pantries sponsored by the Lions Club, en route to Pensacola, North Carolina.

We are currently awaiting the arrival of climate control features, which should be here early this week to complete Pantry 1. Right now, Pensacola is using a 45-ft enclosed trailer to store donated food, but it's exposed to the elements—imagine the mess of an exploded can of beans! Thankfully, this issue will soon be resolved.

A huge thank you to everyone who has helped make this possible. Special appreciation to Adrian Stemple and his crew for their incredible work. God bless you all!
