A Philippi East police constable has warmed the hearts of her community with a touching gesture after renovating and furnishing a home for a struggling family.

She took action after discovering the family’s living conditions, and with the help of donors and community members, she ensured the family received a newly renovated home. The house was repainted, fitted with new windows and doors, and improved with proper plumbing, tiles, a ceiling, and other essential repairs. “She lives with a disability.
