Hurricane Rebuilding Fund Formed

AmeriDream Inc., a downpayment gift provider based in Gaithersburg, Md., has announced a partnership with the Outer Banks Home Builders Association to create the Hurricane Isabel Rebuilding Fund.The fund will assist residents of North Carolina's Outer Banks in repairing or rebuilding their homes. AmeriDream said it has donated $35,000 to start up the fund and, along with the association, has invited real estate agents, mortgage lenders, brokers, homebuilders, and other real estate industry professionals to contribute. "The damage we have seen on Hatteras Island is devastating," said Maxine Rossman, executive director of the OBHBA. ".... The homes of many residents of Hatteras Village were lost completely or destroyed beyond repair, so we are hoping to raise funds that will help those who are most in need."
