NeighborLink Porter County IN
Small things change neighborhoods.
Since 2008, our mission has remained the same: to provide practical expressions of God’s love to our neighbors in need. Christ’s love for us compels us to love Him; His love for people motivates us to love our neighbors well. By serving others, we believe we are fulfilling this mission as Christ intended.
Our goal is to create a unified network of neighbors helping neighbors, regardless of where they live or what they look like.
You can use this platform to safely link up with local neighbors in need. From basic tasks, such as yard work and snow removal, to more skilled projects, like wheelchair ramps or plumbing needs, our goal is to make loving our neighbors as simple as possible.

Project #48157: Construction
Urgent Manufactured Home Underbelly Repair During an inspection for storm-related repairs, a contractor discovered significant pre-existing deterioration underneath our manufactured home. The material supporting the insulation has deteriorated, insulation is failing, and visible mold is present. The contractor recommends removing the deteriorated material and insulation, treating the affected areas for mold, replacing the insulation, adding supports approximately every four feet, and installing new underbelly material. The estimated cost is approximately $7,800. Our homeowners insurance is separately covering the storm-related skirting repairs, so we are seeking assistance only with the newly discovered pre-existing underbelly and health-and-safety issues. A written contractor estimate and photographs can be provided.
