Bob and Linda O'Dell, their daughter Valerie and her three children Brooklynn, Audrey and Jakob currently live in Mason City, where they have resided for 21 years. Their home was affected by the flood of June 8, 2008. Due to mold, the family is unable to use their basement for living space and has become over-crowded and has suffered from many health issues. The family is looking forward to moving into their new Habitat home in Forest City, which was a former Habitat home that was returned to the organization. This home will allow the family to enjoy healthy living, more space for everyone and handicap accessibility that will make everyday life eaiser.
