nice find. I have heard a lot of good stories like this one the past week. I remember seeing something on ABC about people building homes for poor people and on the news someone has been paying peoples layaway balance at kmart. I like to hear these stories over all the bad news we get every day.

The team told Sara she and London would be receiving a custom-built, mortgage-free house in a Houston suburb. It's courtesy Operation Finally Home, an organization the builds houses for wounded and disabled veterans or their widowed families. In its seven years of existence, the charity has built 32 homes in 32 states, all mortgage free.

Very cool Charity. :thumbsup:

[Darth Biscuit]

Very cool...

I thought this was worth posting in here since we just played them. Classy.

Good looking out by the Texans organization.

I'm sure the fans will be pretty happy to finally get into the playoffs and have a winning season.

Thats Nice but I do believe every NFL team does some type of charity work. I am happy to see a lot of NFL players and staff take the time to help those in need.

I thought this was going to be about something the Texans said about us. I was very happy to hear Kubiak give us credit about how well we played.

Just because every team does community outreach / service work doesn't devalue it. It's a good gesture by the organizations involved regardless of who else does it.

Same thing Jared Allen's foundation does. These guys and organizations don't get their due credit for all their good works and deeds.

As soon as they told her what was going on, she started crying, hard.

It was real a touching moment.

My faith in humanity has not been been completely restored, but this helps. Very touching.

That was almost as good as when I went to the Titans game, and they had the husband come out on the field when he was still suppose to be in Iraq. Sadly that was the only highlight of that game for me.

[Panthro]

I love this kind of stuff

...the kid's name is Landon Wood.

Land-on-Wood.

Lol...no?

[Argus Plexus]

Nah, for real, this is why I love the NFL. So much good is done through this organization.
