Extreme Build 2010: McCreary County
Join us in working with Kristi Wilson’s family to build a home for them in just over a week!

June 11-19, 2010

KBF is pleased to announce that
Kristi Wilson will be the recipient of
the fifth Extreme Build home built in
McCreary County. Kristi Wilson is
a single mother of two children ages
seventeen and two. She works full
time, often over fifty hours a week
to provide for her children. She has
struggled over the years, but has been
able to buy her own land and a small
mobile home that is rapidly deteriorat-
ing. Kristi comes from a large family
of six children whose father died at a
young age. She knows hardship first-
hand and wants to provide a better life
for her children. Kristi is divorced and
receives no assistance from her chil-
dren’s father. Through hard work and
dedication, she has worked to raise her
children on her own, but needs help to
provide a safe and decent home for
them. As Kristi says, “My main focus
is my kids. I’m doing this for my kids
so they can have something they can
be proud of!” Let’s join together with
Kristi’s family to build a house in just
over a week. Won’t you be apart of
this opportunity to “Build Up Hope”
in McCreary County?

New for 2010—Structured Registration Fees:

1-2 Days At Extreme Build - $40, 3-5 Days at Extreme Build - $75, 6+ Days At Extreme Build - $100

Register By May 1!
Registration fee includes meals, t-shirt, materials. Special Teams should
call 502-426-1931 for registration rate and assignments.
KBF-Morocco Partnership Experience

to join their voices with a Kentucky choir. This Voices United Choir will travel around the Commonwealth,
