It was an emotional homecoming as the Ravenell's came back to find their completely renovated by the Isabelle's House organization.  Everything from newly donated furniture, to new paint and pictures could be seen all over their house.  It was truly transformed into a home.

"I'm blown away, I can't believe it I really didn't expect this," Theresa Ravenell said.

She and her 7 children live in her James Island residence.  Ravenell expressed endless amounts of gratitude for the job the volunteers had done.

"I'm just praying that God will bless each and everyone because I am really touched by this, this is more than I could ever imagine," she said.

While the work wasn't easy crews said the payoff was seeing the smile on the family's faces.

"You've waited in anticipation for so long and it's such a great feeling to know all the hard work paid off," said Dakota Walker, Executive Director of Isabelle's House.

"It's a reason to celebrate, I'll be celebrating for a long time, I'll never forget this day," Ravenell said.
