This year’s house is being built in Eastlake for Nyquaci Young, a UAB Kirklin Clinic employee, and her three children. “Owning my own home will be the happiest moment in my life,” Young said. 

Building will begin on Sept. 26. Employees and volunteers with a desire to make a difference now can register to volunteer on BlazerPulse. Time slots are available 7:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Thursday-Saturday Sept. 26-Nov. 9.
