Megan Hamby: Rebuilding After Two Fires

“I’m thankful to be part of a community where there are resources, even though many people don’t know about them. Now I feel led to do more myself to help others.” – Megan Hamby

After surviving two house fires in less than a year, Megan Hamby and her four children faced a daunting recovery. Their home, badly damaged and underinsured, seemed beyond repair. But thanks to support from Interfaith Housing, the Hutchinson Housing Commission, and ARPA funds, the family’s home was not only restored—it became safer and more livable than ever.

Volunteers replaced siding, electrical wiring, windows, and doors, making it a haven once again.

Megan’s story is more than a tale of recovery—it’s a powerful example of how partnerships and community support can bring families through the unimaginable and inspire them to give back.
