“So we were able to take the rocks from here and line her driveway on Jones rd. and then we were able to replace her steps here at the back door with new treated wood and handrails,” one code enforcement official said.
Cunningham described the work done by Code Cares as “miracles.”
“I just look at it and say God you will take care of it - that is the honest truth,” Cunningham said.
“It feels great for us because this is the softer side of code enforcement- this is code cares. This shows that we do have a heart and we help those that cannot help themselves and that is impactful and meaningful for us to be able to do,” said Brian Morris, a South Fulton Code Enforcement official.
